Temperance and steady helm

The article by Luis Larraín critiques recent economic policies under President Gabriel Boric, arguing that measures such as a significant increase in the minimum wage without productivity gains, reduced working hours with maintained salaries, and increased pension contributions have led to higher labor costs and rising unemployment rates, particularly among women and young people. These policies are seen as contributing to a challenging environment for small businesses, despite slow economic growth. The author suggests that while some economists and business leaders initially downplayed these issues, they are now recognizing the negative impact on families. The piece calls for continued firm leadership, emphasizing the need for serious and sustainable policies rather than populist approaches. It also advocates for transparent communication and targeted efforts to address public concerns.
