When Crisis Becomes Currency
September 11, 1973. Not the date you're thinking of. This one unfolded in Santiago, Chile, where tanks rolled through streets and fighter jets screamed overhead, bombing the presidential palace. In the chaos, while bodies were still being counted and families torn apart, a group of economists saw something most didn't: a golden opportunity. This moment crystallizes a disturbing pattern that has shaped our world for half a century-the deliberate exploitation of collective trauma to ram through policies that citizens would never accept under normal circumstances. Think of it this way: ever notice how major changes to airport security, surveillance laws, or economic policies always seem to happen right after a crisis? That's not coincidence. It's strategy. And understanding this pattern changes how you see everything from natural disasters to economic crashes to wars. Two men in the 1950s developed parallel techniques for erasing and rebuilding-one worked on minds, the other on economies. Dr. Ewen Cameron at McGill University conducted CIA-funded experiments on psychiatric patients, believing he could wipe their minds clean with electroshock, sensory deprivation, and drug-induced comas, then rebuild their personalities from scratch. Gail Kastner walked into his clinic with mild anxiety and walked out with a fractured spine and erased memories, reduced to an infantile state. Meanwhile, economist Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago was developing his own shock doctrine. His vision? Strip economies of all regulations, trade barriers, and government programs to achieve a pure free-market state. Like Cameron, Friedman believed in the cleansing power of shock and the necessity of complete erasure before rebuilding. The CIA codified Cameron's torture techniques into manuals used from Vietnam to Iraq. Friedman's followers would apply their economic shock therapy from Chile to Russia, leaving similar devastation in their wake. Both systems shared a dangerous assumption: that complex systems-whether minds or societies-could be reduced to blank slates and remade according to ideological blueprints. Both were catastrophically wrong, yet both shaped the modern world.
