Naomi Klein: "'Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time.'
-San Francisco Chronicle.
Her new book is "The Rise of the Disaster Capitalism". I need to read more from her home page. She visited Finland yesterday to promote her new book. Naomi Klein is known for her previous book "No Logo".
Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors. Thrilling and revelatory, The Shock Doctrine cracks open the secret history of our era. Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors' beliefs now dominate our world - and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed."

Naomi Klein is a journalist and she seems to be keen on conspiracy theories. She has many facts in the backround of this theory, although the economical theories are her weak point.
Why ordinary people all over the world accept and even vote for decisions which are against their own and public benefit and give benefits for small amount of morally questionable capital owners?
This "logic" is the thing which should be discussed a lot more.
Tuomo Turja, thanks for your comment. Did you read her book(s)?
I think she is presenting lots of interesting ideas and also profiting herself.
Her No Logo was a big success. I think The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is going to sell well globally.
