Because the Free Market Economy and the Chicago Boys. Milton Friedman inspired most of the miracle. Pinochet was an ignorant that has no idea of economy. If you want to thanks somebody, thanks to Admiral Merino.

Argentina and Venezuela has lagged behind because they don't have the practical approach of Chileans to development. But it is something that is changing. Today the country that grows faster in the region is Peru, actually.
Peru is growing to a similar reason to why Chile did thanks to Pinochet.

Due, to Peru under Alberto Fujimori who had similar authoritarian conservative practices as did Chilean Pinochet

Venezuela was one of the richest countries in the world & flopped hard from socialistic spending projects it could not afford.

Of course Chavez has had temporary growth by using his government command to further exploit the oil reserves of venezuela.
But, this is temporary.
The effects of his socialism seem to already be hitting & will only hit harder.

Under chavez Murder rates Soared. Paracas has a murder rate about 3 times higher than Colombia.
& is the highest murder rate in the world of any city.

Cultures evolve differently because of different historical circumstances. It has nothing to do with testosterone levels.
How would testosterone not play a role?

Look at how Testosterone & Estrogen played roles in Female vs Male Society world wide.

A Higher level of testosterone would lead to a different path in culture.
