Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine - Part 4 of 6



Uploaded by: policyalternatives
Video Description:
Naomi Klein talks about her new book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Speaking at a benefit event for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a social justice research institute.
Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's "free market" policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.

Neither the CCPA ... ( 8 months ago by sbor2020)
Neither the CCPA nor Ms Klein coined the term "free market" - we all know it's a term used by neo-libs to enoble a global system of robbing the little the poor have left to make the rich richer legitimated by govts of rich nations. Hayek said "there's only one freedom and that's the freedom to starve"
Yes, I am an expert ... ( 8 months ago by robotron17)
Yes, I am an expert. Another interesting thing about Friedman is that he was a monetarist (he renounced monetarism in the last year or two of his long life). Monetarism is yet another interventionist policy. I don't know what to tell you. The government wants to intervene so badly that they will constantly blame free echange for the problems they created. There's lots of money and power involved.
True, Friedman and ... ( 8 months ago by sbor2020)
True, Friedman and supporters advocated monetarism, but only in as much as they had control of the money supply, using it to e.g. devalue currencies to control inflation. Therefore, control banks/money supply and allow "free" competition and market will be provide wealth creation for their criminal pals. How free is that? Hayek said the only freedom to do is the freedom to starve. What gets me is that these crude anarcho-capitalists are associated with Adam Smith's enlightened political economy.

Naomi says that Nixon used price controls to win an election, and he did with 60%. But does strength in numbers mean it is right?

You need to know a ... ( 8 months ago by LuckyLukarse1981)
You need to know a little about economics before you can wade in on a debate like this. Does the elite want the 'prols' to learn the tricks that keep getting us fooled by the great card sharks in the sky, I don't think so. So will this ever be more than a few liberals smart enough to learn all this economic crap, only to lead a revolution? Nope, Orwell stated revolutions only exist to change the dictator of the times...

i dont mind changing the name of the dictator, just so long as I get to kill the old one, and a few of his freinds :)

when will we on the left quit wining about how they're kickin our ass and start fighting back some dirty tricks of our own. political fights arent won with righteousness. Forward comrades, not one step back!

Wow this woman talks about the miners strikes, my Dad was in that strike 1984 i was a year old about my mum and dad still talk about it, they could hardly feed us, the community pulled together tho people would give my parents trolleys full of food, my dad and his brothers would nick coal from near the pit and sell it on or keep for our own uses ( we had coal fires up until about 96 i think ) my dad was proud to be on strike I still dont fully understand what it was about.

Pinochet for one, restored Chile into the economical miracle it is today. Number one economy in South America. Commies die, commies cry.

Why don't you just go back to pickin' cotton and chewin' tobaccy on your pappy's farm there Cletus, and leave the political debate to those of us who actually have thumbs...

"I approve of none ... ( 3 months ago by Guncriminal)
"I approve of none of these authoritarian
regimes—neither the Communist
regimes of Russia and Yugoslavia nor
the military juntas of Chile and Brazil.
. . . I do not regard visiting any of them
as an endorsement. . . . I do not regard
giving advice on economic policy as
immoral if the conditions seem to me
to be such that economic improvement
would contribute both to the
well-being of the ordinary people and
to the chance of movement toward a
politically free society."
- M Friedman
The unions and ... ( 3 months ago by Guncriminal)
The unions and their supporters were highly unpopular following the 78-79 "winter of discontent", which allowed Thatcher a landslide victory. The strikers clearly did not speak for the majority of the population as Klein claims.

In chile economy ... ( 3 weeks ago by tjaryma)
In chile economy was in bad condition roughly for 10 years after the coup even or because of after "reforms" in Milton's vein. The economu was worse than when Alende held sway. The economy began to grow only in mid 80's but the huge income inequalities persisted. Friedman also must have realised that in a free country reforms like these (besically dystopia in the making) could not have been possible. It's possible only in countries like Chile (pinochet) or China, Russia etc
but after the coup ... ( 3 weeks ago by tjaryma)
but after the coup the economy was worse than under Allende for rougly 10 years and the growth began only in mid 80's after a lot of adjustements to Friedman's theory. besides you can't separate economy and the rest 3500 dead, 80 000 imprisoned 200000 fled the country
Yes, the transition ... ( 3 weeks ago by marcoantoniocosta)
Yes, the transition from a state-run world-isolated rigged economy to one which trades with the rest of the world does entail hardship. But we live in today, not in the 'roughly 10 years after the coup'.
Actually you can separate them. Unless you are desperately trying to equate economic liberalization with torture and murder, as Klein does. Pinochet was a criminal mass-murderer. So were Mao, Stalin, Fidel, Hitler, Mussolini. Shall we write about 'shock socialism'? :-)
