How did Friedman’s ideology “survive and eventually take over the State”

Your second four Viewpoint essays, for forums Four through Seven, will be
1.** a minimum of 4 paragraphs, single-spaced, placed in the Blackboard space (no links permitted)
2.** Your Viewpoint Essay MUST contain DETAILED discussion, analysis and response to the reading in question. This means that I need to see at least three actual citations (more are even better) from the article – with page numbers from each citation (not from the same page). Citing a few words or a sentence or two [NOT MORE] from the article in quotes is REQUIRED as is the page number.
4. separated by at least one blank and empty line ( more than one is fine);
5. Free of incorrectly spelled words and typos – please note the type above is somewhat exaggerated, you don’t need to make it quite that large, this is just to make the point;

6. with at least eight (8) complete and well-formed sentences in each paragraph
8. You MUST check your spelling and grammar. Please use spellcheck, which means writing your essay in a word processing format and then posting it in Blackboard – an essay filled with typose [SEE HOW UGLY THEY LOOK?] and spelling errors will not gain credit.
10. Your first four paragraphs must discuss only readings assigned and in the Course Reader. If you want to discuss other, supplementary material, – which is great if you want to do it – you will need to do that in a fifthh additional paragraph.
11. A VIEWPOINT ESSAY MUST be labeled as such – please call it (as an example) Viewpoint Essay John Smith. In other words, Viewpoint Essay followed by both your first and last name. A Response must clearly be labeled as a Response. This may sound complicated, but you will quickly see how it works and will be able to do this easily.
13. There will be a point deducted every time you misspell the name of an author, even once. This begins in Forum One. Helpful Hint: It is Erik Erikson, NOT Ericksen, or Eriksen, or Erickson
This warning goes for every author in every reading in the course. You may find this a little hard to swallow, but this is for your benefit; it is aimed at helping you to produce QUALITY WORK for this course and for all other related work you will face in your life. In past courses I have been much too tolerant of this, and it has slowly gotten under my skin more and more; therefore this requirement has now become a part of all of my courses.

Course Reader,
Chapter 14 A. Peter Phillips, Giants: The Global Power Elite. New York: Seven Stories Press, 2018. Chapter 1. Transnational Capitalist Class Power Elite: A Seventy Year History.
14. B. RFK,Jr. in Milan: Under Global Capitalism, there are only two classes – the Elite and Everyone Else. In a recent speech in Milan, Italy [November 29, 2021, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said billionaires are billionaires — it does not matter whether they made their money from state monopolies in China or illegal monopolies in the U.S. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-milan-global-capitalism-billionaires-monopolies/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=84a98249-33ef-44c5-9ae5-90f14bda0c5a

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has written what I consider the be the most important book yet published in the 21st century (we will discuss this in Unit Five and in the Extra Credit Question). In spite of a media blackout (i.e. no magazine or newspaper will review the book, they only write vindictive and dishonest personal attacks on him), this book has sold more than1,000,000 copies as of this date. It is over 400 pages and contains over 2200 end notes. But who is he, what are his values, what does he really stand for? I do ask that you read the short essay I wrote, available just below, which was published on the website of one of the organizations he has founded, Children’s Health Defense. I consider it to be one of the best essays I have ever written. I stand by it even more now that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is under censorship, is being smeared and misrepresented in newspapers, magazines and online media, without ever given an opportunity to respond reply to his critics. You are free to disagree, criticize, you do not have to share my opinion, but you do need to read it, please!
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense.
(fifth case study in self-realization: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Your instructor wrote a letter addressed to friends, family and colleagues with these Memorial Day Reflections that were written in the last days of May 2020. A colleague sent it with my permission to the Children’s Health Defense organization, and the entire staff as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. liked it, and asked my permission to reproduce it on their website. Of course I was delighted; it was printed, and I reproduce it for you here. It explains in some depth why I consider him an authentic American hero, and completely qualified to be the fifth case study in self-realization for this course.)
Memorial Day Reflections: An Authentic American HeroDr. Steven Borish, after much study, a lot of exposure to new information, constant testing, continuous inquiry, more study and then deep self-questioning and re-appraisal writes of finding a new American hero—a hero for our insane, crazy, twisted times—in CHD’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.Children’s Health Defense
