Its bet is to enrich the traditional approach to energy issues in Chile by incorporating social and cultural factors, an analytical perspective that has so far played a marginal role in the analysis and development of concrete interventions in the national energy sector.

Abstract
In the absence of comparable macroeconomic indicators for most of the Latin American economies before the 1930s, the apparent consumption of energy is used in this paper as a proxy of the degree of modernization of Latin America and the Caribbean. This paper presents an estimate of the apparent consumption per head of modern energies (coal, petroleum, and hydroelectricity) for 30 countries of the region, 1890 to 1925. As a result, it provides the basis for a quantitative comparative analysis of modernization performance beyond the few countries for which historical national accounts are available in Latin America.
