The Shock Doctrine (Abridged): The Rise of Disaster Capitalism Audiobook

" The author tries to pass off this obvious piece of fiction as academic scripture. Any political science, 20th century history, or economics course of the university grade would pass this off as a comical farce. Hard to read at times. The truth is out there... just don't look for it in this book... With that said, I do believe in free speech, and congratulate Klein on exercising that value to the fullest. An audience does exist for her somewhere, just not in me. "

" really clever explanation of last 30 years of geo-politics/economics "

" Eye opening book. Sometimes too speculative/conspiracy theory oriented, but nevertheless important to read for an alternate interpretation of current events. "

" An amazing piece of work...just brilliant. "

" Throughout history, people have used crises to push through agendas that are too different from the status quo to do so otherwise. Somehow, this is shocking and terrifying. "

" An interesting and worthwhile read "

" Simply the most essential current events book I've read in ages and a much needed reframing of the real world consequences of laissez faire. "

" A sobering rethink of modern history, the role of corporations and outright greed that dictates the fate of millions of people around the globe. This analysis leaves you watching the news with a cautious eye and wondering what else is happening behind the headlines. "
