Defaming Milton Friedman - Reason Magazine about 10 hours ago
- Naomi Klein usually exaggerates the economic liberalization that
  has been carried out by brutal dictators.
- Based on those two examples, she claims the southern part of Latin
  America is where "contemporary capitalism was born." She even calls
  the countries "Chicago School juntas."
- 11 more annotations...
- - There were indeed advisers from the University of Chicago in
    Argentina; since there is strong global demand for Chicago
    economists, they have visited many countries. But their influence
    in Argentina was barely noticeable
  - China is another country that violently
    imposed Friedmanite reforms. To make this case, she rewrites the
    history of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, claiming the
    protesters were primarily opposed to economic liberalization,
    instead of one-party dictatorship.
  - they
    demonstrated in favor of democracy, government transparency, and
    equality before the law, and against bureaucracy and violence.
  - Chinese officials suppressed the demonstrations because they
    wanted to protect the party's power, not because they wanted to
    liberalize the economy.
  - Klein also exaggerates the free market elements in anything she
    can associate with a crisis.
  - The strangest thing about Klein's suggestion that crises benefit
    free markets and limited government is that there is such a long
    record of the exact opposite.
  - Wars and other
    disasters are rarely friends of freedom.
  - As Klein sees it, in Bush's America "you have corporatism: big
    business and big government combining their formidable power to
    regulate and control the citizenry." This sounds like a healthy
    libertarian critique of the administration-something Friedman
    himself might say.
  - At times it seems like Klein thinks any policy is
    Friedmanite if private companies are involved.
  - have a
    hard time finding an economist more persistent than Friedman in
    warning how corporations and capitalists conspire against the
    public to obtain special privileges.
  - "Business corporations in general are not defenders of free
    enterprise. On the contrary, they are one of the
    
    chief sources of danger....Every businessman is in favor of freedom
    for everybody else, but when it comes to himself that's a different
    question.
Defaming Milton Friedman - Reason Magazine about 10 hours ago
- And it is not a rationale for
  welcoming disasters; it's about the uncontroversial fact that
  people change their minds when the old ways seem to fail.
- In fact, Friedman never worked as an adviser to, and never
  accepted a penny from, the Chilean regime. He even turned down two
  honorary degrees from Chilean universities that received government
  funding, because he did not want to be seen as endorsing a
  dictatorship he considered "terrible" and "despicable."
- 6 more annotations...
- - Klein twists this relationship beyond recognition, claiming
    Pinochet's 1973 coup was executed to allow free market economists
    ("the Chicago Boys," as the economists from Friedman's University
    of Chicago were called) to enact their reforms.
  - The reality was that Chile's military officials were initially
    in charge of the economy. They were corporatist and paternalist,
    and they opposed the Chicago Boys' ideas.
  - In a 576-page book about such evils,
    why wasn't there room to mention that Milton Friedman opposed the
    Iraq war, thought the IMF shouldn't be involved in Asia, and
    believed governments should be prohibited from expropriating
    property to give it to private developers?
  - she declines
    to mention Friedman's longheld positions that directly undermine
    her thesis.
  - we find only four economies on
    the planet that haven't liberalized at all since 1980,
  - Klein never talks about such
    rapidly liberalizing democracies as Iceland, Ireland, Estonia, or
    Australia, where reforms were given renewed support in several
    elections.
Defaming Milton Friedman - Reason Magazine about 10 hours ago
- In a very short time, the book has become a 21st-century bible
  for anticapitalists.
- The chief
  villain in her story is Milton Friedman, the economist who did more
  than anyone in the 20th century to popularize free market
  ideas.
- 2 more annotations...
- - Klein exaggerates the market reforms in
    question, often ignoring central events and rewriting chronologies.
  - And she subjects Milton Friedman
    to one of the most malevolent distortions of a thinker's ideas in
    recent history.
Milton Friedman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia about 10 hours ago
- The libertarian author Johan Norberg published a critical response to Klein's assertions, in which he argued that she "confuses libertarianism with the quite different concepts of corporatism and neoconservatism" and "she subjects Milton Friedman to one of the most malevolent distortions of a thinker's ideas in recent history" Norberg also claimed that Friedman had opposed the Iraq War from the beginning.^[58]
- During Friedman's last email interview (2006), he said that the greatest threat to the world's economy is "Islamofascism, with terrorism as its weapon".^[59]
