Book discussion. The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, by Naomi Klein

Come join the discussion of this frightening theory that free market forces are poised to impose corporatism on vulnerable societies after war or disaster destroys existing infrastructure. From Chile to Russia to Iraq, Klein details the abuse of disaster capitalism. Do crises since the publication of Shock Doctrine – housing bubble collapse, enlarged national debt, and US deficit in education test scores – fall under Klein’s master narrative? If you are unable to read the book, come anyway; we will outline the book's content. The public  discourse needs to become informed and vigorous.
