Thread Name: BS: The Shock Doctrine and book marketing
Subject: RE: BS: The Shock Doctrine and book marketing
It's one of the most important books of this generation. Naomi has blown the whistle
on a failed foreign policy based on economic greed. The "Chicago Boys" include
Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Thomas Friedman and others who have created
economic disasters in other countries as well as corrupting our own.

Think of the cigar-chomping top-hatted capitalist heading the big corporations sitting
on the moneybags which smotheri the worker and you get the idea.

It's the ghost of Ayn Rand doing damage to the American economy, stealing the jobs by
sending them overseas and when other countries don't behave send in the marines.
Another book "Economic Hit Man" would be good in conjunction with this one.
