For this purpose, new legal standards were established as well as a series of economic reforms carried out by a group of neoliberal technocrats known as Chicago Boys. This paper presents the main characte- ristics of technocratic rationality, as well as its relationship with authoritarianism and neo- liberalism. Specifically, it is justified through primary sources why the Chicago Boys are technocrats, as well as what are the particu- lar properties of neoliberal technocracy. The hypothesis is that the neoliberal and traditio- nal technocracy have different characteristics to each other, especially when it is analyzed the role that the expert has when planning society.SPA: En 1973 la libertad política fue suspendida en Chile abriendo paso a un régimen autoritario que buscó instalar un nuevo orden político y socioeconómico. Para ello, se establecieron nuevas normas jurídicas y una serie de reformas económicas a cargo de un grupo de tecnócratas neoliberales conocidos como Chicago Boys. Este artículo expone las principales características de la racionalidad tecnocrática, así como la relación de ésta con el autoritarismo y el neoliberalismo. En particular, se justifica mediante fuentes primarias porqué los Chicago Boys son tecnócratas, así como cuáles son las propiedades particulares de la tecnocracia neoliberal. La hipótesis es que la tecnocracia neoliberal y tradicional poseen características distintas entre sí, sobre todo cuando es analizado el papel que elexperto desempeña al planificar la sociedad.
