Naomi Klein exposed the brutal logic of those pushing the neoliberal agenda in her book The Shock Doctrine. She also linked the project to David Rockefeller. With a US-backed junta in place in Argentina, Henry Kissinger made sure to extend an invitation to the military government's minister of the economy. He offered to make the introductions needed to keep Argentina financially solvent and said he would "call David Rockefeller," then president of Chase Manhattan Bank, to gain access to the resources to do so.

Kissinger didn't stop there. "And I will call his brother, the vice president [of the United States, Nelson Rockefeller]." David's Bank, as Chase became known during this time, shored up Argentina's economic needs, while Nelson took care of the political front.
