Book part: Error Correction. Chilean Cybernetics and Chicago’s Economists
Abstract
Cybernetics is a specific way of conceiving the relation
between information and government: It represented
a way of bringing the epistemological and the ontological
together in real time. The essay explores a paradigmatic
case study in the evolution of this history:
the audacious experiment in cybernetic management
known as Project Cybersyn that was developed following
Salvador Allende’s ascension to power in Chile in
1970. In ideological terms, Allende’s socialism and the
violent doctrine of the Chicago School could not be
more opposed. In another sense, however, Chilean
cybernetics would serve as the prototype for a new
form of governance that would finally award to the
theories of the Chicago School a hegemonic control
over global society.
