FMF NEWSLETTER 9 December 2020

Professor Walter E. Williams (1936 – 2020)
The FMF observes with great sadness, and a profound sense of loss, the passing of the great economist and teacher, Walter E. Williams. May his work continue to have a positive impact on many people’s lives and thinking in the future.

The new constitution is expected to be ratified by about August 2022. The SA constitution has regularly been lauded, both locally and internationally, as one of the best in the world, so it would be unsurprising if Chileans look to SA’s example for guidance. Beforehand, though, Chile should be mindful of, and learn from, the mistakes of our constitutional experiment. To read further, please click here.
