Shock Doctrine: Part I « Publius2012’s Weblog
This seems to be an exercise in historical rhetoric. Often using two unrelated things to hitch a point together somewhere else. Example: Noting that the actions of the C.I.A. went against the U.C.M.J. (Publius called it the “army’s” when in fact it governs all the services.) The C.I.A. is not a part of the military, sorry about that.
Then he calls out the Chicago School of Economics for abuses that were carried out in Brazil..? If he actualy knew anything about what is taught in Social Economics he would know better than to spout such nonsense.
He speaks about American mining operations in South America as if the businesses did nothing for the local population. Schools must not matter, nor fresh running water and sewer systems. Just to name a few.
Utopia will never happen, period. Free Markets do however offer the best hope for mankind to get near that state.
