1. Thanks

Great conversation on how Milton Freidman's "Neoliberalism" is working out there. Capitalism with the gloves off, where everything is privatized. Two/thirds of the people live on $1,200 a month.

2. Neo-liberalism is just a means to an end.

And the end is neo-fuedalism...because that is the inevitable results as the few wind up owning all the land and resources.

And really if you look at the US now it is close to that...

5. Important for Americans to pay attention to what Chile became under Friedman neoliberalism

and attempts to change it recently. Just read Robt. Hunziker's article on Chile. Saw SA when young, beautiful and diverse with poverty, some middle class and European style cities. Old Lima, incredible Machu Pichu, Rio, Buenos Aires Christmas Day 1972 with confetti and flyers for Juan Peron. At Santiago airport advised not get off the plane, one look out the window at soldiers with machine guns convinced us. That was Allende's last year. Miami return with news of rugby students rescued from the Andes plane crash.
Strange there's not more connection between the US and neighbor SA continent.
