Entry: Was It The Oil, All Along? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/was_it_the_oil_all_along#10105 Post contents: Patrick, another great piece. All of the factors you mention are contributing, but in my opinion no one comes as close to the inciseness of John McMurtry on this issue. Read his VALUE WARS: THE GLOBAL MARKET AND THE LIFE ECONOMY. He points to the inner similitude of Yugoslavia and iraq: both resource-rich nations whose resources were under national control, and which countries both provided many social services to their peoples. According to "neoliberalism" these are both no-nos. So the nighmare continued and "neoliberalism" merged with neoconservatism to create the rule of chaos and destruction we know today. http://from-the-catacombs.blogspot.com/ Sent at: 2008 10 13
