The book argues that the free market policies of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman have risen to prominence in some countries because of a deliberate strategy of certain leaders to exploit crises by pushing through controversial, exploitative policies while citizens were too busy emotionally and physically reeling from disasters or upheavals to create an effective resistance. It is implied that some man-made crises, such as the Iraq war, may have been created with the intention of pushing through these unpopular reforms in their wake.
The documentary looked at Chile, Argentina, Great Britain, Russia, Iraq and USA (Katrina). Has anyone read the book, seen the documentary or are simply aware of doctrine? If so, comments?
