I actually think Chile's current success has more to do with Pinochet's purging of so called "corrupted politicians" by having them killed or exiled from the country. He had so much control he had a new Constitution written which tied things so much, it made politics almost irrelevant.

End result : the method may not have been "nice", but achieved measurable results (GDP per capita, etc).

What measurable results? Do you have the results of a parallel universe where the US minded its own business so we can compare? Read up on the subject, Chile was doing better before the US got involved and took decades to recover from the intervention.
