Shock Doctrine

Perhaps the master narrative of our time, Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" demonstrates that the global 'free market' has never been democratic. At over 500 pages, the mass of depressing detail can be overwhelming - to me reminiscent of Mort Rosenblum's "Mission to Civilize: The French Way": another depressing mass of details regarding our all-too-human failure to be very human to each other (or, rather, to anyone not of one's particular class, culture, religion, street address or wahtever). A must read for anyone truly concerned with current events, economics, politics and truth.
