Shock Doctrine

This is a very interesting video made by Alfonso Cuarón director of Children of Men. This is a promo piece for Naomi Klein’s new book The Shock Doctrine. Naomi Klein writes a regular column for The Nation and The Guardian and a former Miliband Fellow at the London School of Economics and holds an honorary Doctor of Civil Laws from the University of King’s College, Nova Scotia.

I have been studying economics for a while and have read much of Milton Friedman’s works, and I have to say she’s not off base in her proclamations. Some of his stuff is very scary. After finding this video I followed the followed the www.youtube.com link and watched a couple of her speeches. If you have the time I strongly suggest check them out as well.

  1. Ironically, my step-mom gave my father a copy of this book the morning after we posted this. Score one for serendipity!
