[Peace] Naomi Klein ("Shock Doctrine") Wed 10/29 7:30pm talk *AND* Thu 10/30: 10am Focus 580, noon booksigning, 2pm round table

[Stuart Levy]

You'd probably heard that Naomi Klein (author of "Shock Doctrine")
is speaking this Wednesday, Oct 29th, at 7:30pm,
in the Smith Hall auditorium (805 S. Mathews):

    Klein will lay out her view of how Latin America became a laboratory
    for neoliberal economic ideas such as those championed by Milton
    Friedman and his “Chicago Boys,” starting with the Pinochet
    regime in Chile. She will argue that military coups and neoliberal
    ideologues in the region guided the path for the imposition of a
    new economic model.

But, she'll *also* be around for several events the following day,
Thursday, October 30th:

 10:00AM Thu   – Interview on Focus 580 (WILL-AM call-in program)

 12 noon Thu   – Book signing, in Illini Union Bookstore

 2:00PM  Thu   – Discussion of Latin American social      
                 movements, in Illini Union room 210
