Reviews

"Naomi Klein is one of the most important new voices in American journalism today."
--Seymour M. Hersh, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist "Naomi Klein's exposé of neo-liberal economics is certain to be sensational. She rips away the 'free trade' and globalization ideologies that disguise a conspiracy to privatize war and disaster and grab public property for the rich few. She is brilliant on the malevolent influence of Milton Friedman and the University of Chicago's Economics Department in promoting global privatization. She offers an excellent explanation for the failure to repair New Orleans after Katrina. Hers is a long-needed analysis of our headlong flight back to feudalism under the guise of social science and 'freedom.'"
--Chalmers Johnson, author of the Blowback Trilogy (on the book) "Naomi Klein is an investigative reporter like no other. She roams the continents with eyes wide open and her brain operating at full speed, finding connections we never thought of, and patterns which eluded us. She shows us, in clear and elegant language, how catastrophes--natural ones like Katrina, unnatural ones like war--become opportunities for a savage capitalism, calling itself 'the free market, ' to privatize everything in sight, bringing huge profits to some, misery for others. To ensure the safety of such a system, it becomes necessary to constrict freedom, to assault human rights. The torture chambers for some then match the torturing of the larger society."
--Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States (on the book)
