The Chilean economy has expanded, and no one with his or her heart in the right place can fail to celebrate that; but this growth has little to do with the former president’s policies. Even worse, the expansion is proving to be unsustainable, and Chileans will soon feel the consequences of Piñera’s failure to carry out the pro-growth reforms he once promised.
塞巴斯蒂安·皮涅拉（Sebastián Piñera）指出，智利是成功市场改革的例子。他将于3月11日卸任总统。他说错了。智利经济有所扩张，每一个立场正确的人都不会不为此感到欣慰；但这一增长和这位前总统的政策基本无关。更糟糕的是，经济扩张被证明是不可持续的，智利人将很快感受到皮涅拉没能兑现其促增长承诺的后果。
