Stills from The Shock Doctrine: A Short Film by Alfonso Cuarón, director of Children of Men and Y tu mamá también. Click on the movie above the slideshow to watch it in its entirety.
My latest book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, is being published worldwide in September 2007. I've written two previous books -- Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Globalization Debate and No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies -- and I write a monthly column for The Nation.
To contact me, please send a message through my assistant, debra@naomiklein.org. Please note that I am traveling and I am rarely able to reply to personal messages.
thanks a lot for the add! haven't read the shock doctrine yet but no logo was really inspiring (although I don't agree with everything, but hey it's always healthy to stay critical!).

Hello there Naomi I have been meaning to send a friend request your way for some time but you beat me to it. Or some one on your behalf beat me to it. Either way, it's good to be a part of your online circle; an honorary member of a dissident community brought together by your literary talents. I am very much looking forward to reading more of your words. Best, Manfie
Thanks so much for the invite. I got a copy of No Logo my freshman year of college from a friend and have been a fan since. It's kind of funny, I was just watching your keynote address to Canada's first Independent Canadian Jewish Conference.
Thanks for the invitation, Naomi. "Shock Doctrine" is brilliant--one of the most important books published in the last decade, and something everyone should read.
"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide". -- Philip D. Brown
There's so many brilliant people like yourself out there that see past all the media propaganda we get bombarded with. Thanks for the book. Wish you resided in Congress. Pelosy and Hillary are so phony - just shells of a human being.
