...have always been key to social stability and progress, no matter where you go. You could witness all those values in FDR's New Deal. The difference between modern America and China is that America sold many of those things in exchange for the consolidation of corporate wealth and power, and will struggle to resurrect that spirit of public uplift. The American dream is dead; long live the Chinese dream. Peter Wells Toowong, Australia...

Frei Ruiz's problems have been highlighted by the remarkable rise of a third candidate, Marco Enríquez-Ominami - born, ironically, in the cataclysmic year 1973 - a socialist who bolted the Concertación and is gleaning younger...
