Review of The Shock Doctrine

The book is rather long, but its breadth makes it impossible to fit into a single documentary format. Also, I found the editing poor, simply put. She is pushing her own agenda and needed to follow her narrative to make a book out of it, of course, but calling her a communist or reducing this to capitalism vs communism is missing the point. It's also not fair to say she uses the world capitalism instead of cronyism. I would most certainly disagree with a lot of her suggestions if she were in power, but she isn't. The narrative she presents in the book is compelling, and calling her names or dismissing her because she's on the wrong side of a bipartisan system is not going to advance anything.
