The Chicago School of thought is opportunity capitalism at its finest. Naomi Klein wrote about how that if no crisis exists then state actors will often create a crisis to get the public to accept changes that during a non-crisis period they would not accept. The Shock Doctrine is an important book that is definitely worth reading to gain a better understanding of how the world works.
Furthermore, it goes a long a way to answering the question: “Why do they hate us so much?”. Our policies toward other nations can be quite horrific at times as we encourage profit over people almost in every case. Klein’s detailed analysis should make you feel a little ill by the time you are done with the book.
