Here's the relevant section of the Counterpunch article YOU posted, dumbass: counterpunch.org by NOAM CHOMSKY ..."This idea is sometimes made quite overt. So when Alan Greenspan was testifying before Congress in 1997 on the marvels of the economy he was running, he said straight out that one of the bases for its economic success was imposing what he called “greater worker insecurity.” If workers are more insecure, that’s very “healthy” for the society, because if workers are insecure they won’t ask for wages, they won’t go on strike, they won’t call for benefits; they’ll serve the masters gladly and passively. And that’s optimal for corporations’ economic health. At the time, everyone regarded Greenspan’s comment as very reasonable,". ..and it's all THERE in his congressional testimony, just not in the form Chomsky quoted it, but it's ALL there. ..
