Oh, come on. At least it's /lit/ related unlike some other threads. Of course I've read about the book, why else would I've ordered it? I'm just curious what you guys have to say about Friedman.

It's called 'ideology'. I wouldn't ascribe conscious, malicious intent, it's more like the ruling class tricks itself into believing something which both works to cement their position as oppressors and exploiters AND makes them feel like they are not exactly that, at the same time.
