Chile’s unhappy success

LET’S play a political parlour game.

First question: Which developing country has, since 1990, consolidated a thriving liberal democracy, with free elections and a free press; almost trebled its real income per capita; sharply reduced its Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality); and climbed up the ranks of the United Nations Human Development Index, so that it is now classified as enjoying Very High Human Development?

Second question: Which developing country had massive protests and riots in 2019; suffers from very low reported trust in institutions; has just elected a member of the Communist Party as the standard-bearer of the ruling centre-left coalition; and, if polls are right, is likely to choose a far-right Trump wannabe in the presidential election later this year?
