[Jenifer Cartwright]

This one might be of interest, as there has been discussion on this list of how Good Guys can use Shock for good, rather than evil, purposes. DN! airs M-F 7-8a on UPTV, 4p on WEFT, and current and archived shows are available on-line at http://www.democracynow.org

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* With Crises in Fuel, Food, Housing and Banking, What Gvt. Policies Are
Being Pushed Through? Naomi Klein Reexamines "The Shock Doctrine" *

As the country and the world reel from crises ranging from skyrocketing oil
prices and global food shortages to housing and climate change, how best to
understand the government policies being pushed through? We spend the hour
with Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster
Capitalism. Klein also discusses Barack Obama's economic advisory team,
whom
she calls "Obama's Chicago Boys"; why she's suing the US
government for
spying on journalists like her; as well as her recent trip to China, where
she says the government is building a high-tech police state with the help
of US military contractors.
