WHAT IS MARXIST IN THIS?  ---------------------- Doğan Göçmen Author of The Adam Smith Problem: Reconciling Human Nature and Society in The Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations, I. B.

Hi Jerry,  Vacation ends for most employees in Sweden around this time of August.  I have a comment rather than a proper topic. I recently listened to a talk by Naomi Klein on her theory of "shock doctrine". The central argument rests on a quote by Milton Friedman:   "Only a crisis --- actual or perceived --- produces real change.  When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the  ideas that are lying around. . . . Our basic function [is] to  develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and  available until the politically impossible"  Doesn't this strike you as a very Marxist theory of crises and political action?  //Dave Z   on 2008-08-10 20:19 GERALD LEVY wrote: > Hi everyone: > > Is everyone on vacation this time of year? > The list has been very quiet in recent days. > > Does anyone have20any new topics for > discussion? > > In solidarity, Jerry  _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope ________________________________________________________________________ AOL Email goes Mobile!
