The shock doctrine

I hope you will know who is the canadian author Naomi Klein, and her books. The last of its is The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007), and is the basis of a 2009 documentary by the same name.

The book argues that the free market policies of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman have risen to prominence in some countries because they were pushed through while the citizens were reacting to disasters or upheavals. It is implied that some man-made crises, may have been created with the intention of being able to push through these unpopular reforms in their wake.

Enjoy this incredible material and observe, analise and think about how the actors of this (your) history fight for the control and power of the society.

With a bold and brilliantly conceived thesis, skillfully and cogently threaded through more than 500 pages of trenchant writing, Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time. And because the pattern she exposes could govern our future as well, The Shock Doctrine could turn out to be among the most important books of the decade.

- William S. Kowinski, San Francisco Chronicle

And now, it seems the turn of Spain, just follow the facts. I hope there will not a government change, but if it be, we have this image for the future :P


P.D.: I love understand facts from when I was child. It's like If I am winning time :)

P.D.: Don't miss "No logo" the previous book about corporations. And her YouTube's channel.

I found my meaning

Eyeclipse: Open your eyes

Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant! - Plato (The Republic)

I found this precious quote on the net, related to my nickname :)
