Naomi's Book: The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.

You had a problem uploading audio to indybay because the file is 65.1MB and indybay's upload limit says:
"Maximum size of each uploaded file 64MB"
Thank you for the great coverage!!

"America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries."

Klein writes and talks about some important stuff to be sure, but why is everyone so goddamn happy in the photos?

>why is everyone so goddamn happy in the photos?

Because those photos were my favorites. I took the pictures -- I get to choose.

If you don't like it, take your own photos! ;-P

Also, Naomi makes lots of funny, biting comments... and she laughs at her own jokes!

But, just to satisfy the old grumpy guy, here's a shot where nobody is smiling.

by P.B.
A woman so valiant,
A breath of fresh air,
That's ever known what is true.

She hails from up North
Where there's action to go forth
And make a name for the underprivileged few.

To see her make speeches
Was the thing not of leeches
But a refreshing glass of TRUTH.

Those corporate machines
All scummy, not clean
Need to be shown a thing or too.

The TV execs
And CEOs without pecs
Know nothing about the struggles of you.

So I urge you, dear reader,
Take off your "wife beater"
And wear your thinking cap soon.

For the times, they're a-changin'
And nobody's blamin'
The people at the bottom eating food.
