DAY THREE


First Hour

It is time to look at an old time Republican that everyone, I believe, could admire through the eyes of the economist, Milton Freedman, who I generally disagree with and who is/was one of our most important theorists:  Freedman on Goldwater.  Frankly, at the time, I really did not understand Goldwater as he was portrayed as a reactionary conservative (as the article explains). The article should provide good grist for an informed discussion.

There are serious problems with trickle-down economics (neoliberalism). For us it does not trickle down only up as explained in this video.

We will watch Nami Kline about the shock doctrine and  a video that explians Neoliberalism's negative effects on education and stigmatized populations.
