Naomi Klein has a follow-up on her book The Shock Doctrine up at The Nation and Alternet. It’s funny to me that both the far left and far right sometimes criticize her for raking it in off her book and “the system” she decries. That’s not it at all. Good ideas and sound thinking should be rewarded by any system. That’s it.
