    Default The Shock Doctrine

    Anyone reading/read it ?
    I'm halfway thru, and not yet convinved that the disaster capitalists have been the only users of this technique - as good at it as they are.
    Opinions welcomed.

    It's one of only a very few books that maintained its hold on this reader through to the end - and you have to complete it to get the full impact.
    I'd love to hear from any readers.

    Added note: your find a couple of references to Tony Blair within its pages.

    Book: The Shock Doctrine
    Author: Naomi Klein
    Subtitle: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
    More info: www.shockdoctrine.com
    Claims include: #1 National Bestseller
    New York Times: Critic's Pick of the Year

    So, I finished the g-d book. And it is a good book. The subtitle should indicate that it also covers the beginning of the decline of disaster capitalism, or at least a worldwide consciousness of the theory, and a looking-out for signs of pressure to follow its modus operandi.
