Book Reviews of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

Book Review: "Awesome"
Summary: 5 Stars

I personally enjoyed this book because I feel that Naomi Klein did an excellent job in explaining why capitalism is not a good economic system and how milton friedman had deregulated the banking system and encouraged the privatizing of businesses. I also liked the way she showed how milton friedman influenced alot of different countries that were under dictatorship to use capitalism. I believe that this book really shows how and why capitalism is not a good economic system. Michael Moore also had a movie that came out called Capitalism a Love story it is really good and I highly suggest that anybody of any political party whether it be Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, Parliamentarian, Green party or Panafricanist should watch the film Capitalism a Love story and read the book The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.
