Politics and international studies professor Peter Siavelis helps explain what led the U.S. to have a hand in the coup in Chile, how it occurred and what happened afterward. “I do think that there’s something there about the uniqueness of this country and its democratic experiments that it’s had over the last 50 years. And that provides a lot of lessons for other countries in the world,” he said.

The strike failed … but four years later US Steel reduced its workday from twelve to eight hours.”
