[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U. of Chicago is the home of the "Chicago School" of economics. This is a school of thought most famously promulgated by Milton Friedman, who espoused a purely lassez-faire approach to economic policy that approached social darwinism, and has been a favorite touchstone of oligarchs everywhere. The dictatorship of the bloody-handed murderer Augusto Pinochet in Chile explicitly looked to the Chicago School for its economic policies, regardless of the human and social costs that followed. [/quote] Oh, and by "social darwinism" I meant sociopathy.[/quote] WTF is wrong with you? Are you the freak show who thinks that all Ivy Leagers are sociopaths, too? I'm as left as they come. But Pinochet was in the 1970s and 1980s. During the 1990s I worked closely with several members of Chile's finance ministry and, news flash, even Bachelet's people are more right wing than most advisors elsewhere in Latin America. [/quote]
