The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

I suggest everyone reads this book. It was very informative and eye opening to out goverment.

Just a few things off the top of my head I find wrong with this book.

1. Friedman opposed the Vietnam and Iraq Wars.
2. Friedman opposed the IMF's actions in Asia.
3. Friedman visited Argentina 2 years after Pinochet's bloody coup.
4. Pinochet requested help from Friedman economists after his economy was failing and still didn't start reforms for several years.
5. Chinese students gathered at Tiananmen Square to mourn the death of the Secretary General who was a market reformer.

the list goes on and on. This book was written to be marketed to the left because Naomi Klien new it would sell well, truth be damned.

This is a well-written review of the state of our economy. If the 'deciders' would all read this, it might make a difference!!

I didn't know what to expect. I had heard Naomi Klein on Democracy Now! and several other programs and she was an interesting contributor. I checked out the book online and purchased it. I have not been disappointed. I recommend this book to anyone. Should be required reading in high school.

I know, I know, this shock doctrine stuff is serious, and harms many people, and so forth.

But Naomi Klein is cute.

Ah, I've known so many women like her from years gone by.

Such a nice girl. And smart, too!
