Although I haven’t picked up a copy yet, I’ve read and watched enough about The Shock Doctrine to know that has been both inevitable and insuperable to avoid bringing to mind to it these past days.
I urge anyone who hasn’t yet done so to read The Shock Doctrine. It didn’t just shock glassy-eyed Chomskyniks like me, but a former Masters student of mine who professed herself a fan of Th*m*s Fr**dm*n read it and admitted to being “appalled”. It’s in paperback in the UK now, and in the US next month.
