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.
Need to read this, especially after seeing Alfonso Cuarón’s short film about the book on YouTube.
On a related note, was surprised to see it advertised so heavily on London’s Underground. Normally only chic lit and Da Vinci Code-esque stuff gets that sort of exposure.
