A documentary adaptation of Naomi Klein's 2007 book, The Shock Doctrine.
Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, The Shock Doctrine vividly shows how disaster capitalism -- the rapid-fire corporate re-engineering of societies still reeling from shock -- did not begin with September 11, 2001.
The films traces its origins back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in Washington today.

And thank you, I've been waiting for this. When I read the book I was kind of in a daze for about a week. I recommended it to everyone I could. I'll be watching that in the next day or so when I have more time.
Thank you for posting this.
I'll check out the vid when I have about a week to spare afterward
It has been an eye opener for me. Thank you for helping kick the post and for your endorsement ...
very important viewing.
there is something about his voice I find comforting. Thanks for the addition to the post.
well known enough. His reporting is always spot on.
Thanks for putting that Shock Doctrine flick link up!! Like I said above, I've been waiting for it to become available online. I'm up in the redneck dominated mountains in the west and have limited access to many things, like a video store that might carry it.
....and will come back to watch in entirety later... You have outsmarted yourself, littlemisssmartypants. Thanks for linking it here.
