In this 2015 talk, philosopher Wendy Brown, author of "Neoliberalism's Stealth Revolution" and "Regulating Aversion" gives a fascinating overview and analysis of the phenomenon of cultural decay under neoliberalism and offers a fascinating perspective on the early days of the US-Iraq War, especially the "leadership" of a certain Ian Bremmer, who as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority managed to destroy both the Iraqi state bureaucracy AND the standing Iraqi military, leading to the creation of, you guessed it, the 2004 Iraq Insurgency and of course Al-Qaeda in Iraq, later to become a little something called ISIS.
