I think that "government officials owned stock that would increase in value due to second order effects after the Iraq War" is a too-simple explanation for what brought us to Iraq, but it certainly didn't hinder or slow down the war drums.

I don't think Klein really sets the context before each "Shock story" as much as she could. She doesn't seem to be into nuance. But her description of the post-Soviet collapse of Russia's economy /due/ to the collapse of burgeoning democracy is compelling.
