The Liberal Politics & Current Events Book Club discussion

We'll be reading The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein through the end of March.

This thread can be used to give book reviews as well as for a general discussion of the book. Please feel free to start a new discussion in the book club folder if you'd like to focus on specific aspects of or ideas from the book.

I finished the book today. Why do Milton Friedman adherents find it acceptable to increase the poverty and misery of the poor in pursuit of corporatism of government functions?
