Here's a cool piece about economic alternatives in Latin America:

I think Latin America is tired of the "help" the US has given them, such as the torture techniques training we gave their former dictators at the School of the Americas and the "free market" reforms that devastated their economies (and ours too).
I think we should tell the disciples of the Chicago School of economics to stick their theories where the sun don't shine, tell neoliberalism and the lie called "free markets" to go to hell, and embrace economic plans that benefit real people over corporations and bankgangsters.
Maybe then the US can again call itself a "democracy" without lying through its teeth.
