Sumario: | Chile is widely known as the first experiment in neoliberalism in Latin America, carried out and made possible through state violence. Since the beginning of the transition in 1990, the state has pursued a national project of reconciliation construed as debts owed to the population.

Life in Debt invites us into lives and world of a poor urban neighborhood in Santiago. |
