Abstract

The Editorial Board of the Review has decided to reprint the following article* with a two fold purpose We want, first, to honor its author, Orlando Letelier, the Chilean Marxist economist who, with his co-worker, Ronni Moffit, was killed on September 21, 1976, in Washington. D C , when a bomb demolished the car they were in Letelier had become a foremost speaker against the atrocities of the junta which overthrew the Allende govern ment in Chile His loss is a serious blow to the forces opposing the junta's terrorism Second ly we want to protest the awarding of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics to Milton Fried- man, the reactionary Chicago School economist Letelier's documentation, in the following article, of the Chilean situation and of Friedman's involvement in the junta's political eco nomic policies will stand as the strongest possible condemnation of that award The decision of the Swedish Roval Academy must be condemned as an act of aggression not only against social change but also against any standards of economic objectivity
