The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
First Unitarian Church of Portland
Portland, Oregon
December 7th, 2007

"Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time."
-San Francisco Chronicle


"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."

Engaging, but casual, smart and eloquent, but easily understood, Naomi's presentation charmed the crowd as much by its style as by its content. Though speaking from a podium, she seemed very much a part of, rather than apart from the gathering.
