Naomi Klein "The Shock Doctrine" & "No Logo" interview
BackIn-depth interview with internationally renowned author, journalist and syndicated columnist Naomi Klein on her new book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism". Klein is best known for her book from the year 2000, the international bestseller "No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies". It was called "A Movement Bible" by the New York Times referring to its incredible impact on the anti-globalization movement.
In this extraordinary interview, Klein discusses the key ideas behind her concept of The Shock Doctrine and its importance as an alternate economic, social and political history of the last thirty years. She describes how the free market ideas of economist Milton Friedman and the Chicago School fostered the impact of shock from the 1970s Pinochet regime in Chile to the Bush administration today.

Had they lived to see the development of it, they would have been disgusted. They were already wary and cautious of it in their final days, to see it fully developed would have outraged them.
Somewhat how I wish Marx lived 20 or 30 years longer. Had he been alive for Lenin, who was killing people left and right despite Marx writing in 1850 that capital punishment could never be justified, he'd shit himself to see what was being done in his name (among other things).
-Ryan too.

I'll check out Christopher Hitchens. I too am a product of the public school system...didn't work out too well. I've learned more about the FOunding Fathers and American History in the last year-and-a-half than all school years combined. It's come from discussing things from others and alot of studying good books. I'm looking to read "The real George Wshington", "The real Thomas Jefferson" and "The real Benjamin Franklin" by Cleon Skousen.

Have a great weekend!

My knowledge is limited, but outside Jefferson and a few others, and Franklin, most of them, like Madison, were just vicious.
I've only read a handful on the founding fathers. I mostly focus on 20th century history and left-wing movements. Hell, I own Burnett Bolloten's Spanish Civil War: Revolution and Counterrevolution, a 1,000 page history compiled all his life and released in 1990.
Spent half a paycheck on the damn thing, 130 dollars. It was worth it though. For me at least, lol.

Really?! That's interesting. Appreciate the insight.

I highly recommend reading Zinn's chapters 3, 4, and 5, maybe 6 on the colonial period in a People's History.
It's quite fascinating how there was such a strong class tension, a resentment towards the wealthy that the leaders of the revolution wanted to deflect towards the British, but always feared losing control of it and having it turn on them, as seen by the countless riots before, during, and after the revolution.

And ironically enough, 69% of the signors of the constitution were members of the colonial government, and even more were wealthy land owners in constant fear of black slaves and white servants banding together. The revolution could have ended up as the French one, which took place a few years after the American one, where you had a full uprising of the lower classes.

There's also a very fascinating story of a mutiny that Washington had to put down in 1781, and had two of the three leaders of it executed by their own friends as an "example," in his words.
Very great book, a refreshing take on history than what was taught to me and others in the public education system.

The George Washington bit just comes from everywhere. It's in various little trivia pieces and things, I can't even remember where it first came from.
The recurring theme in the ideas of Jefferson, and even other libertarians of the time like von Humboldt, was against domination of any kind, religious or state. Those were the only forms of the time, the influence of monopolies and trusts did not exist. No one really knows their ideas about them, except for the very late writings.
