Occupy By Chomsky "He (Alan Greenspan) said a lot of the success of this economy was based substantially on what he called 'growing worker insecurity.' If working people are insecure, if they're part of what we now call the 'precariat,' living precarious existences, they're not going to make demands, they're not going to try and get wages, they won't get benefits. We can kick 'em out if we don't need 'em. And that's what's called a 'healthy' economy, technically. And he was very highly praised for this, greatly admired."
