> 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
