and after 15 years things have only gotten worse. It seems every economic catastrophe only serves to redistribute MORE wealth into the hands of the top 1% and decrease the power and influence of unions and social equity policy. Naomi Klein is dead right in The Shock Doctrine. But in the beginning, it was only used to exploit third world countries, and the remnants of the Soviet Union to the benefit of the western countries. Now it's gone even further, to exploit EVERYBODY for only the benefit of the top 1% in the western countries.
