“Driving through New Jersey, Nitze [asked] Dillon if he thought the market decline an omen of hard times ahead . . . . Dillon thought for a few minutes and replied, ‘I think it presages the end of an era.’ By this Dillon meant that what lay ahead was not merely a period of retrenchment, after which affairs would be conducted as before. Rather, the world was in for a major overhauling of institutions.”
~ Clarence Dillon and Paul Nitze in 1929

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will discuss two documentaries written by Naomi Klein: The Shock Doctrine (2009), about the use of engineered economic and social shocks as a technique to centralize political and economic power, and The Take (2004), about efforts to rebuild the Argentinian economy after it was destroyed by shock and subsequent “piratization.” I will also discuss a series of documentaries and sources that describe economies in recent decades—Latin America, Russia, Cuba, Jamaica—that have gone through engineered shocks and sudden drops in resources and economic activities. What can they tell us about successful strategies to navigate a world in which GNPs are engineered to drop quickly by as much as 25% or more?
