José Piñera

On Nov. 6, 1917, Lenin takes power in Russia and admonishes: "Workers of the world, unite" (Of course under the dictatorship of Lenin). On Nov. 4, 1980, Chile creates a pension system that allows every worker to become a small capitalist, and originates a much more appealing vision: "Workers of the world, become owners and thus free".

José Piñera, "Two contrasting paradigms".
