Back


Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives ( presents:

Naomi Klein talks about her new book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Speaking at a benefit event for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a social justice research institute.
Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's "free market" policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.

Its funny that Klein had the same view as her book title accuses her enemies of having. She looked at Katrina and thought political opportunity. Some people looked at government built levies breaking and flooding a city that wouldnt exist with out them and people that are products of public schools too poor to have a car and think maybe the top down socialist thing isnt working. But there all psychotic and evil of cores

the definition of a sociopath is the absence of empathyty for others. global capitalism has no empathy for billions of people.

"It shows also the application of Friedman economic theory in Eastern Europe and South America."

Only in your fevered imagination.

Its not about profit; its about getting the job done. Private schools do it better, because they have to compete for your business. The purpose of the educational system is to teach kids, not to give teachers pay raises. All liberals do is throw money at the problem.

Throwing money at a problem works very well! The F-117, the V-22, algae based hydrogen production, and many more "problems"! Taking money away is like you not paying your rent! You lose your home. What we need to do is find better examples of school systems and/or techniques that work. Chinese and Japanese schools for start. And not all liberals think alike. A good idea is a good idea and I dont care where it comes from! I will do homework by looking into your idea. It may have merit after all!

Shock Doctrine ties it all together. Plus, I'd rather listen to Naomi Klein any day over those normal windbags at the Heritage, Enterprise blah blah blah Institute/Foundation. She's much more sexy!

Yes, and she blames the corporatism on Milton Friedman. Who spoke adamantly against it. And that is just one of the ways she misrepresents Friedman's positions.

You are completely correct. She cowardly slanders a dead man who's ideas improved the lot of far more people than she could ever hope to.
