Good morning, Happy reading, please anyone feel free to convey what you think about the book’s first chapter.

[Trisha]

Good morning Tayo (although it’s 9:30 pm here in Malaysia), have you started reading the book? I’m yet to begin. 😕

[Tayo]

[Tayo]

Good morning good evening lol happy reading today enjoy my good read buddy

[Trisha]

Haha, Gm to you Tayo! I read the introduction yesterday and will hopefully go through chapter 1 tonight. How much have you already read? And what do you feel about it? I liked the intro, it defined shock therapy and disaster capitalism, both new topics for me.

[Tayo]

I thought the intro was awesome and that it was as transparent as one could be, regarding the hands on experience that Naomi endured. I will be done with chapters one and two today.

[Tayo]

How is the read coming along Trish?

Hey Tayo, I'm really sorry for not updating you with my progress. I've been lagging behind and have done just 3 chapters so far. I'll try to buckle up and read as much as I can. How is it going with you?

[Tayo]

It’s going great be encouraged and dig in deep, this good read has allowed me to pay attention to what’s happening with us as a whole. Very interesting read.

[Trisha]

The book indeed is an interesting read! How much have you read, Tayo?

And thank you for your encouragement! 😊

Tayo, I'm done with precisely 50% of the book and I'm in the middle of the 11th chapter. I love how Naomi divides each chapter country-wise and not all of it bundled together. The chronological order is also quite helpful! It's a shock to see how learned people/politicians fell into the traps of the Chicago School Boys. In fact I am utterly disgusted reading the role of the World Bank, and other similar institutions that forced countries to adopt the Washington consensus.
