3. The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein

Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 09:45 PM by sorrywrongemail

Ah yes. Because free trade is synonymous with democracy and peace. Did Bush even mention the problems with the Peru deal (Chamber of Commerce saying labor requirements are un-enforceable), or the Colombia deal (union leaders being targetted and killed by people related to the Colombian government).

Cue Pinochet's Chile, Argentina, and post-Paul Bremer Iraq (wherein Bremer passed a free trade law)

Really, the Chicago-ists need a new talking point.
