    The document discusses the origins of Chilean professional, intellectual, political, and economic elites from 1930 to 1999. It notes that traditionally these elites were formed at the University of Chile, but starting in the 1930s, the Catholic University of Chile increasingly served this role. Many of the most important political parties in Chile's recent history, such as the Christian Democratic Party and UDI, originated from leaders educated at the Catholic University. Similarly, economists influential in shaping Chile's economic policies, like the "Chicago Boys," were also educated at the Catholic University. However, this trend of elites emerging from the Catholic University rather than the University of Chile is described as not absolute but rather the dominant pattern during this period.

    Notas Sobre Elites Chilenas, 1930-1999

    Cristián Gazmuri

    Abstract

    Traditionally, chilean professional and intelectual elites were formed in the


    "Universidad de Chile" (University of Chile) since its foundation in 1842. But, from
    the 1930's on, this rôle began to be fulfilled mainly by the "Universidad Católica de
    Chile" (Catholic University of Chile). Most political, economic and cultural elites, that
    have had a real importance in chilean recent history, were born in the catholic
    institution. For example, in the political field: The "Falange Nacional" (afterwards
    "Partido Demócrata Cristiano"); the "Gremialismo" (afterwards Partido UDI), the two
    biggest polical parties of the second halfof XX century, were born in the U. Católica;
    one liberal and the other conservative. The same is true for economists (like the so
    called "Chicago Boys") that have given a sharp turn to chilean economic reality. Of
    course, this change regarding the origen of chilean elites, is not the rule but just a
    trend.
