Book recommendation: The Shock Doctrine, Naomi Klein

From a discussion on FireDogLake:

The basic thesis is that natural and artificial disasters are now being used as triggers to make large social and economic changes that would otherwise not have been palatable to the general public. Civil liberties, defense expenditures, and union busting are some of the examples she offers post-9/11 and Katrina.
