Impact & contents.
This copy obtained a wide diffusion after the Estallido Social (lit. "Social Outbreak"), which coincided with its advance in a seminar held at the Centro de Estudios Públicos ("Center for Public Studies") on January 10, 2020, occasion in which even the presidents of the three main parties of the then official coalition Chile Vamos met, which was led by Sebastián Piñera, president of the republic in the 2018–2022 period.
The work gained relevance in Chilean political circles through its emphasis on the 'sensitivities' within the national right, which, at the time of the book’s launch, was divided between approving or rejecting a constituent process in the 2020 Entry Plebiscite, which was won by the first option with 78% of the votes.
Among the adherents of the 'Approval' option on the right, one of the leaders who most cited the book to support his vision of a 'social right' was Mario Desbordes, a member of Renovación Nacional (RN). On the other hand, the book has been cited in various media such as Canal 13, or other detractors of the right, such as Ciper, El Desconcierto or El Mostrador.
Distributed in nine chapters, the content of the book also covers episodes in which the social and ideological environment of the right in Argentina and Brazil is analyzed (chapters VIII and IX). On the other hand, and in addition to the analysis of these environments within the Chilean right, the work also covers the communicative transformations that, through think tanks, said political bloc has had in Chile.
