31. Especially since we have been offered, via Naomi Klein, some truly
Vivid portrayals of what happens to nations that have the Friedman "Shock Doctrine" "Free Market" theories shoved down their economic pipelines.

There are the examples of Chile and Argentina, which ended up with military junta's jackboot on the throats of their citizens, with many citizens ending up "disappeared.'

Or else, you end up in a situation like the Mafia-ruled Russia of today, where the top chiefs are worth billions while the elderly are starving, while the middle aged are bankrupt, and while teenagers become prostitutes for the Top Hot Shots in Suadi Araboia.
