In 1973, Chile was the laboratory of Capitalism. In 2021, El Salvador is the Laboratory for Bitcoin

In 1973 Chile was taken in a USA-backed coup d' etat by Pinochet and the CIA. The Novelty was that they applied the Chicago-School of Neoliberalism to the whole country ( restoration of laissez-faire capitalism ), selling pensions, healthcare natural resources and national industries to rich people for pennies. This was a "success" that is until today being applied around the world, expanding the difference of the haves/have nots (killing the middle class). El Salvador in the other hand is another experiment which could have ramifications around the world, but in a positive sense.
