Imperialism Jared Diamond neoliberalism Social Sciences West Papua
"It is difficult to say whether author Jared Diamond writes from ignorance or malice, but his distorted perception of tribal peoples is certainly getting a lot of attention. As an act of sensationalist self-promotion, perhaps his neoliberal views so eagerly embraced by Wall Street are merely show business, something to guarantee his nonsense will become a best-seller. Such is the nature of market ethics."

"The election of Napoleon Chagnon to the US National Academy of Sciences is part of a rightward shift within the US. Increasingly desperate the retain it hegemonic position and to roll back the few gains achieved by the Third World masses during the second half of the 20th century, US imperialism is not simply utilizing advanced technology and scientific applications to wage wars of aggression in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, et al. US imperialism is also increasingly relying on ‘scientific’ justifications, à la Chagnon, Jared Diamond, and others, for its expanded aggression and exploitation."
