RE: V4Vapid's Tin Foil Raps comp submission: Starving - The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
The Shock Doctrine is such an important book in my mind. Starting with the MK Ultra experiments (electroshock therapy, sensory deprivation, torture) being conducted at McGill University and using it as an analogy for shocking nations (economic terrorism, natural disasters), paralyzing economies, nations and the populace with fear/instability and swooping in with the new economic prescriptions of the Chicago School of Economics.
Awesome entry, thanks for throwing down!
Yeah it's a great book, real eye opener. That doco they tried to do was bloody hopeless though, no wonder she distanced her self from it.
I find the crypto-space's fascination with Austrian economics truly baffling ... Austrian and Chicago thought has been fucking the world lube-free for a good 50 years now. There's nothing new or radical about it - it's establishment economics designed to reinforce the status quo and widen the gap. In Chile they had to kidnap, beat and murder people to get those policies through ... Now we have "dissidents" demanding the same policies at home?
The powers that be must be having a right laugh.
Sad but true... The more traumatized a population is, the easier they are to control 😥
