The Market is God, say the "free market" fundamentalists
"I am determined to pursue an aggressive strategy of opening up the markets in all the regions of the world."*
— Bill Clinton, firmer U.S. president, address to the WTO, May 18, 1998. Quoted in Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank by Éric Toussaint and Damien Millet, 2010
One can scratch her head and thinks about what effects that has had in the U.S. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Egypt, South Africa, Argentina, and other countries. Clinton in fact was not pursuing something new, the "shock doctrine" was already apace, and it would be soon complemented by "shock and awe".
