Great analysis of a series of political events interconnected in a smart way through a damning analysis of neoconservative ideology but it'll make you sad!

Even though this book was written in 2007, it feels (depressingly) on point for 2024. It explains the impact of capitalism and modern economic power complexes on every day people in excruciating but important ways.

This book is fascinating- the tie in with Wars Chile and Pinochet and the industrial war complex. Iran and Reagan, Bush, CHENEY, RUMSFELD and all the money they mad during the wars they created at the cost of blood and tax payer money. The most fascinating was about Rumsfeld and his chairman of the board status at Gilead Pharma and selling vaccines to the government. Talk about creating a need.

A towering work. Not perfect,  overreaches in places, but overall a hugely compelling indictment of neoliberalism and The Washington Consensus.
