Features selections from speeches by 2 fine critics of global capitalism. Klein discusses corporations that profit from MANAGING disasters such as global warming and thus oppose measures to prevent or halt the disaster. Parenti argues that some disasters are CAUSED by powerful institutions to benefit a few powerful people. Do you think (he asks) that the IMF and World Bank are run by morons who don't KNOW that their policies increase poverty for the many and enrich a very few?
