NAOMI FOR PRESIDENT !!!!!!! ;o)- Marian Larsen : Klein has attracted a considerable following in Greece, where the Greek translation of her book The Shock Doctrine was in the bestsellers list for months, reflecting the popularity of the book worldwide. Described as "the master narrative of our time", the book argues that business interests and powerful nations exploit shocks in the form of natural disasters, economic problems, or political turmoil, as an opportunity to aggressively restructure the economies of vulnerable countries’. She argues that because neoliberal policies are harmful to the majority of citizens, they cannot be implemented without a shock, ranging from media-hyped anxiety to police torture, that squashes popular resistance.
