It is a story radically different from the one usually
told. Based on breakthrough historical research and four years
of on-the-ground reporting, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that
'free markets' lead to 'free people'. She reveals that our world
is increasingly in thrall to a little understood yet hugely
influential ideology: the shock doctrine. This is a doctrine that sees
moments of collective crisis as a 'window of opportunity'. With
societies too terrified or disoriented to protect their own interests,
the free market advances, using the trademark tactic of rapid-fire
economic shock therapy. Often, a refusal to comply results in
distinctly more corporeal shocks: the shock of the Taser gun, or the
electric cattle prod. Our history is littered with events that have
provided opportunities for the shock doctrine. From the 1970s
dictatorships of South America, through the Falklands War, Tiananmen
Square and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Naomi Klein reinterprets
our past to trace the rise of disaster capitalism, a program of social
and economic engineering advanced through shock. Playing out today
around the world in Israel, Iraq, New Orleans and South-East Asia, The
Shock Doctrine reveals the true beliefs that lie behind global policy
and in doing so reframes our history and our present.
This is a book about shock, and the way it's applied to countries
and people. It is the unofficial story of how the 'free market' came to
dominate the world from Chile to Russia, China to Iraq, South Africa to
Britain.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't already delivered an application for Facebook that offers users LinkedIn-like functionality. Is Facebook missing a reputation engine? So add it. Are you looking for a better way to handle your address book? So add that one too. Facebook offers opportunities to entrepreneurs to come forward and to fill in the functionality gaps. And now is the time to think about what YOUR Facebook strategy is or is going to be.
