I think it was from the IMF notes that bounced from the back of a limo at Palasts feet. This was when the IMF was meeting someplace, London I think. It was from Greg Palast's book, "Best Democracy Money Can Buy". A good read.
But the IMF notes refereed to flexibility in workers benefits and pay. It's part of Friedman's Golden Straight Jacket. The tighter you fit it, the more gold it produces. Been tried out all over the world and it does produce great wealth, but not for the workers. The wealthy get most of the wealth as it is the workers benefits and pay that is diverted to the privateers. The agents of the government get a lot of wealth too. For them, they get numbered Swiss accounts and bribes of billions are placed into those accounts when the agents of the government allow the privateers to 'buy' the common assets of the country, like water, telephone, roads, stuff like that.
One point of the IMF notes also had to do with workers pensions. Anybody else notice the spate of bankruptcies in large corporations with large worker pensions and how the Federal Judge in Chicago thinks it's OK for companies to use those pensions to pay the bills? These high fuel costs are part of a IMF plan, to bust the workers. Free market controls prices my ass, it's manipulated.
Greenspan should not be allowed to exit gracefully, he should go to jail just like the rest of them. He has been stealing our wealth for 20 years now. He is like one of those carnival con men, with the shells and pea, saying guess which shell has the pea as he shuffles and manipulates the value of our money, to steal our wealth that WE have made.
Why do you think the founders of our government placed an item in our constitution that states ONLY congress shall print money. Economic wellbeing is at the heart of liberty and freedom. If the people cannot control the money supply, through their elected representatives, then the bankers can steal it all, by manipulating the value of money. All this stuff is old hat, why is anybody surprised at what is happening?
Our parents screwed-up. When FDR allowed those peckerhead wealthy Republicans off the hook for causing the last depression and made a compromise that allowed the ones that cause that calamity to continue living, but only under tight regulation, our parents should have said no. They should have taken those greedy bastards and lined them up against a wall. Because all they did is sit back and wait for a later date to start the same BS.
Edit to add: Capitalism's boom and bust cycles are not something that just mysteriously happens, with nobody understanding what causes it. Those boom and bust cycles are caused by the supply of money. Historically, this was the way bankers and other shysters, like kings, to steal workers accumalated profit, to keep the workers poor. Our founders were smart and knew what these crooks were doing and had been doing for centuries before.
