suarezjaguar - whilst 1.3% of GDP on military expenditure may not be much on a global scale, and you say it´s too much for a poor country like Bolivia, it is actually fuck all when you have the world´s largest military and intelligence services plotting to unleash civil war in your country and assassinate its elected head of state, as has been evidenced many times - I live there, so we see the stuff you don´t on domestic TV. It is Fuck All. They should probably spend more to defend themselves.

anonymity correctly points out the sometimes ludicrous nature of this obsessive freemarket thinking and how its hard-set dogma is far closer to the lunacies of something like the bureaucratic nature of the old Stalinist East European dictatorships with their state quotas and bread queues than most anything on the modern, democratic Left.
And that is the point.

While you are correct that the IMF disagrees, are you defending this? Even if the courts gave Bechtel a settlement for their losses regarding the "stolen" rainwater... do you not have trouble with the idea of someone owning rainwater? If not, you must be from the Chicago School of Economics yourself. Bolivia has been the poorest nation in Latin America for years with about half their population (varying over time obviously) living below the poverty line. Now this? Shame, Shame.

they increased the charges for water by something like 300%. This is a perfect example of the failure of this economic policy.

@suarezjaguar IMF disagrees with you.

@WarmongerWW3 Rainwater does not belong to Bechtel corporation

Bolivia STOLE the rainwater that belonged to Bechtel.

@dkrto They spend proportionally less than most European countries and the US spends. I'm talking in proportional terms.

Here is the answer for you economics morons. You see what the truth is,in Chomsky's institution,their "economics department" would argue for the privatization of water in Bolivia,because it's the wonderful "theory". Now if the people turn out to have no access to water,then too bad,it's not the department's problem,they don't care, but the people will. So you see why Chomsky is against this nonsense, formal economic theory is just used to cover the injustices in the real world by private powers.
