El ladrillo (English: The Brick) is a text considered the base of the economic policies followed by the military dictatorship that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990.^[1] El ladrillo was finished just a few weeks before the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat but became known to the public only in 1992.^[1] Economist Sergio de Castro played a pivotal role in shaping the text and wrote the prologue himself.^[1]
