UN Advisor Slams the BBC

For totally ignoring Western human rights abuses A good slam, but ... He is the same Jeffrey Sachs who advised on how to violate the human rights of eastern Europeans after 1991 by ‘liberalising’ (read plundering) their economy, and we know the disastrous outcomes of Western policies implemented. “Shock Therapy has been popularized by Sachs, the  IMF and others as the three ‘-izations’, which ... are now familiar to every schoolchild in Eastern Europe: liberalization, stabilization and privatization. More recently a fourth, final step has been added: institutionalization.”  —Peter Gown, Neo-Liberal Theory and Practice for Eastern Europe, New Left Review, September-October 1995
