Disaster socialism
Never waste a good crisis. Should we hold our breath waiting for Naomi Klein to write a sequel called "The Rise of Disaster Socialism"?
Update: From the comments - Terence Corcoran wrote about this long ago.
Terence Corcoran in the National Post said the same thing in Nov. of 2009: " The Real Shock Doctrine: Obama and the Rise of Disaster Socialism".
ReplyDeleteThat should be 2008, obviously!
ReplyDeleteThanks. If I ever knew that, I'd forgotten. Corcoran is always well ahead of the pack when it comes to noticing these things.
