La producción de la pobreza como objeto de gobierno
El libro aborda una faceta subterránea de las políticas sociales referidas a la pobreza: los instrumentos y procedimientos de medición de ella y de clasificación de las personas como pobres en Chile. El libro indaga en la constitución de la pobreza que es objeto de gobierno, como producto de procedimientos científicos de medición, que son parte de procesos de gubernamentalidad, según la noción de Foucault, y que expresan los entrecruzamientos entre saber y poder. Trata así de la ontología y epistemología de la pobreza que es objeto de regulación y atención pública, y de los pobres que son consignados como merecedores de ayuda estatal.
Free Market Democracy and the Chilean and Mexican Countryside
This book examines the relationship between free markets and democracy. It demonstrates how the implementation of even very painful free-market economic reforms in Chile and Mexico have helped to consolidate democratic politics without engendering a backlash against either reform or democratization.

In the countryside, free-market reforms socially isolate peasants to such a degree that they become unable to organize independently, and are vulnerable to the pressures of local economic elites. This helps to create an electoral coalition behind free-market reforms that is critically based in some of the market's biggest victims: the peasantry. The book concludes that the comparatively stable free-market democracy in Latin America hinges critically on its defects in the countryside; conservative, free-market elites may consent to open politics only if they have a rural electoral redoubt.
