HAVING A SCHOOL of economics as a father is probably very difficult. As the son of the famous iconoclast economist Milton Friedman, David Friedman most likely faces great obstacles in establishing a distinct and separate reputation.

The junta's team of fiscal technocrats, many of them disciples of University of Chicago Economist Milton Friedman, have applied a tough austerity program that has let prices rise while holding down wages to keep demand in check. So far, Chile's inflation has come down to a projected 250%-300% for 1974. Still, the average laborer needs to work four hours to earn enough for a kilo...
