POLC99H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis
Document Summary
Video about argentina (the take: naomi klein and avi lewis, 2004) Argentina"s president in the 1990s downsized and sold off all public asset possible. As a result, half of the country slid below the poverty line. Money was free to travel while mncs whisked off millions of money out of argentina. Argentina went through 5 presidents in 3 weeks. Banks locked people out of their own accounts since argentina went broke. People were rejecting the whole model, not particular politicians. Workers were locking themselves in the factories and producing stuff without management. They have a case for taking over the plant ad running it themselves if the court finds that the previous owners has been selling assets of the factory illegally. You learn to accept the decision of the majority when you vote often.
