In 1948 in the new State of Israel kibbutzim-type farms for intensive or concentrated agriculture came into being. Such competitive agriculture was removed from the base of economic calculation for Ceylon. The World Bank report’s medicine for development via buffalo-yoked plough was poured down the throats of the island’s post-Independence statesmen.
Informed opinion in the island asked about that investment in terms of the future of the children of farmers walking barefoot in deep mud to till the soil with a water-buffalo-yoked plough and grow rice. In history agriculture is known to release young people into employment in towns. So in tribute to those dissenting opinions recorded for all time in the Parliamentary Hansard, we may ask whether these are the young people who were thrown out to grow hungry for employment – and become material in the hands of the insurrectionists and warmongers who rocked the island.
For twenty years the country graph registered slow development. As a result, students of economics began to consider the first model of the World Bank – charlatanry.
CURRENT MODEL FOR
ADJUSTING BELIEF SYSTEM
The ultimate trump then came out.
Network media had saturated literature with the words “Free World”. By 1977 the World Bank and IMF began to tingle with the words “Free to Choose”.
The title was created for a video series put out in the name of Milton Friedman and his wife. Friedman had climbed on the tribune of U.S. Presidential Advisor. There he intended to launch his video series on tax-payer funding.
From that tribune, he could also send out his band of apprentices to take control of U.S. university faculty and international bodies such as the World Bank and IMF based in Washington D.C. These apprentices came to be dubbed Chicago Boys (i) for the Chicago School (one subname of Friedman’s discipline) and (ii) for the notorious criminal boys of the Chicago of Al Capone (of the Italian Mafia) who were beaten into underlings by the Meyer Lansky mob syndicate (Maier Suchowljansky, 1902-1983, Khazar Ashkenazim).
Friedman’s model was originally dubbed “Voodoo Economics” in the USA. In a targeted nation, Friedman broached “Freedom” as a means of value system adaptation to set people spitting in the community well (an idiomatic expression in Hebrew and Russian) or to poison the well.
To this end, standing on a tribune at the expense of the tax payer, Friedman began an attack on the “collectivist” 3rd Class public sector on grounds that the private sector solely and alone is the engine of progress. A community body enters the Second Class compartment if it is taken over by a private company. A community body enters the First Class compartment if it is taken over by an individual.
A predecessor of the Chicago Boys had been installed in Margaret Thatcher’s Downing Street office. The philosopher-in-residence picked to restyle the belief system of the British leader was Allan Walters. It was the restyled PM who exclaimed, “There’s no such thing as society – there are only individuals and families.”
Allan Walters had given his time of residence to persuading the PM to move Britain from 3rd Class “collectivist” compartment to First Class.
If collectivism is deplored by the Chicago Boys, then they denounce not only the Israeli adopted kibbutzim, a direct development from 19th Century agricultural communes in Tsarist Russia.
The Chicago Boys’ logic decries as collectivist – learned societies of scientists and engineers. So does the logic decry every church, mosque, temple or synagogue. To listen to them and convert a learned society into a limited liability company gives it Second Class status. To go further and convert the society into the possession of a single individual raises it to unparalleled excellence the First Class ideal of the Chicago Boys.
Friedman’s associate Ayn Rand scripted the performance this way in her book “Anthem” of the 1930s.
“The word `We’ is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it.”
If the British era bestowed a particular balance of private and public sectors (e.g., the Bank of Ceylon was set up under the aegis of the public sector), in the mid-1970’s Friedman and his Chicago Boys began their inciting of the private sector against the public sector. A privatisation-mania was induced. Free-booters, fly-by-nights and marauders were emboldened to raid community assets in the public sector.
To trigger the raids on social assets, a first target was chosen in Sri Lanka. The choice was for a reservoir development scheme – designed a decade previously by a UN consultancy team. Free-booters put up shingles overnight to become `dam constructors,’
