Disaster Capitalism
Naomi Klein on Disaster capitalism is an interesting book to re-read, especially in light of recent events in Europe. http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine
One cannot help thinking that National, in New Zealand, (NZ's GOP) and their supporters have taken it to heart. They certainly seem to be keen on precipitating an economic disaster. The only possible reasons are either they have bought into their own propaganda,
OR they expect to gain by it.
It has been obvious for a long time that political parties that support Neo-Liberal economics cannot survive on funding from individual party members. They just do not have enough public support for this to occur. Almost all their funding comes from corporates and a very few wealthy individuals.
Only by bearing this in mind does their determination to socioeconomically wreck whole countries become understandable.
