Alternative Radio: The Shock Doctrine
 
Catastrophes from Katrina to Iraq from Afghanistan to the Asian Tsunami clear the
way for corporations to move in and operate in newly privatized zones, pushing local
government overboard. Kind of like shock and awe economics. Privatize, privatize,
privatize is intoned like a mantra by the economic high priests of neoliberalism.
The belief in the so-called free market is almost akin religious dogma. Abuses,
shoddy work and rampant profiteering rule with little or no oversight or
accountability. Governments sub-contract and outsource their essential functions and
services as jobs float downstream from the public sector into the private. Free
market neoliberalism is synonymous with democracy and since everyone loves the
latter what's not to like about the former? But what it really is, is a get rich
quick crusade.
