In this meticulously researched exposé, The Invisible Hand unveils the intricate network of covert financial, political, and corporate forces that undermined Chile's democracy and orchestrated the coup against President Salvador Allende. Through declassified documents, firsthand accounts, and critical analysis, the book delves into the roles of multinational corporations, U.S. government agencies, Chilean oligarchic families, and international financial institutions in destabilizing a sovereign nation. Key players such as ITT Corporation, Anaconda Copper, Coca-Cola, and the CIA are examined, revealing their motivations, covert funding strategies, and the devastating impact on Chile's economy, media, and political stability. Each chapter exposes how foreign and domestic elites leveraged their influence to erode Allende's socialist reforms, culminating in the violent military coup of September 11, 1973, and the rise of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. From economic boycotts and propaganda campaigns to orchestrated strikes and political manipulation, The Invisible Hand paints a vivid picture of the intersection between capitalism and geopolitics. This gripping narrative not only recounts historical events but also offers a profound reflection on the enduring implications of foreign intervention and economic imperialism in shaping global politics. A must-read for historians, political analysts, and anyone interested in the dark underbelly of international relations, this book provides a compelling account of how money, power, and ideology converged to change the course of a nation's history.
