> Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

> Nation columnist Naomi Klein's new book, The Shock Doctrine, does
> nothing less than outline an entirely new way of thinking about
> politics, economics and society. Based on breakthrough historical
> research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster
> zones, the book vividly shows how what Klein coins "disaster
> capitalism" -– the rapid-fire corporate re-engineering of societies
> reeling from shock -- 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.
>
> The book will be officially released in the US on September 17.
> Click here to pre-order copies. And watch a six-minute companion
> video to the book created by the great Spanish director Alfonso

> the present I was seeing in disaster zones."

> a special event sponsored by The Nation Institute, The Nation
