So I’ve had this as audiobook in my library for a while and thought I’d finally give it a go on a long train ride, because I’m out of other stuff to listen to.

But my god…there’s some useful stuff here, but I’m barely a chapter in and she’s already insinuated the Tinyman massacre (on students wanting neoliberal reforms) happened so China could implement neoliberal reforms/shock doctrine, repeatedly compared China’s economic model to Russia and the US and coined the term “corporatism”, because neoliberalisms natural conlusion “isn’t capitalism or neoliberalism or neoconservatism”.

Is it even worth going through the rest of it or could other works provide the same info without this anti-communist libshit?

Edit:

From Chile to China to Iraq torture has been a silent partner in the free-market crusade

I’m going insane. Also why in the world would anyone describe torture as a SILENT partner ffs
