All I know about her is that Disaster Capitalism book. Central premise was really dumb. It's not a characteristic of an economic system, it's a nations propensity to engage in direct or indirect military conflict in order to achieve its own geopolitical goals and the goals of international corporations. She seemed to be on board with the "War for Oil" line in relation to the Iraq War. Natural resources are always being considered, but we had other geopolitical pressures to engage in regime change in Iraq. Also, I remember she took shots at Pinochet. The CIA had reasons for wanting to prevent the spread of socialist governments in South America beyond business interests.
That's all I know about her. Her core premise is one I quickly encountered in college, and once I spent time researching these things, one I learned to disregard. Full disclosure, I haven't read her book but did read a lot of excerpts, watched a lot of interviews and I believe there was a short length "documentary" based off the book. Also, isn't she Canadian. And just look at her last name, I think we all know what nation she's loyal to.
Well it's good to know that you admit ignorance. Next time don't post about things you aren't educated about.
