Naomi Klein on Charlie Rose

suggests perhaps, not Leo Strauss, but Milton Friedman, one of whose ardent admirers was Donald Rumsfeld, deserves more attention for issues, ranging from Latin American debt, Iraq, and disasters because of his argument about using crises to impose a neo-liberal agenda on compromised societies and states. These arguments Klein draws from her latest book, .

I might have to reappraise Naomi Klein, but this is a must-see interview.
