Naomi Klein's writing is clear, direct and incisive. A collection of essays about corporate power and popular resistance.

I used to have a used copy of this book. I liked it. Naomi Klein is a pretty kick-ass writer and researcher. This book is a good overview of various perspectives on neoliberal capitalism, and why it's important for you to pay attention and take sides (hopefully with the anti-capitalist direct-democracy types of people, rather than the anti-democratic corporate types or the anti-human religioso-fundies).

Don Ropes student!
Yes...yes....I am reading her book again. This time it was volunteering. As a former Mass Communication student, Globalisation watcher, and a CURRENT World Bank loan beneficiary agent......I MUST read this book to keep my feet on the ground and my eye on the reality.
Besides, it is easier to watch the predator's moves from its own nest

I read this all last night and this morning. I have lots and lots to say about it, thus I will be writing about it on my blog later on today!

Going back in time a bit, and probably a bit more honest than her later books
