Latest Read

My latest book acquired is The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein...

In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.

Here, you can also find a short video about Naomi Klein's research on disaster capitalism...



Hopefully the book proves to be an interesting read...

oh Naomi Klein!

I read her stuff before. She wrote a lot about global market, very thoughtful stuff about human consumption - conspicuously and relating that to the sexual selection theory. Watched one of her short film productions too! Interesting stuff. Get you thinking.
