Discussion: Naomi Klein I am currently a student at NYU. I have to select a Thesis topic for my Writing class and have decided to write about the injustice of sweatshops. If you have any suggestions that will help me make the paper more specific I would be very grateful. I read your book NO LOGO (as it is a required text for Sociology at NYU) and I found it facinating. Thanks for any help you can offer. kellyelwood@hotmail.com >>By Kelly Read this book. It is all that needs to be said. Anything that can highlight the branding method's as being used so widely ( I figure the Manic Street Preachers made themselves a brand) so easily is a must read. >>By Waldo I haven't read "No Logo" but I have read "Shock Doctrine," which blew me out of the water. Naomi Klein has a website. Google her name. She is a great writer. >>By Doug Phillips I lived on this earth for 55-ish years, and then read "Shock Doctrine". My mother-in-law was one of the people tortured by Cameron for the CIA. I was watching TV news the day Orlando Letelier was blown up in his car in Washington DC. I knew of some of the world events that she talks about in this book. But I'll tell you: I will never look at this world the same way after having read this book. Now she has spoken in Rolling Stone magazine about the fiscal crisis and financial bailings. I await the next shock with new eyes. >>By 1eye The Shock Doctrine was the book to make me understand how the world has changed after the 70'ies and will change, it makes me fear. Recommend Ernst Bruun Olsen: The Mailman from Arles, too (poor people can't buy machine guns, so the era of revolutions is over). >>By keijjo
