Synopsis by Kimber Myers
Naomi Klein elaborates on her book The Shock Doctrine in this filmed lecture. Here, the author debunks the idea that capitalism and peace go hand in hand. Instead, she discusses the role of greed in war, hitting on moments from contemporary Iraq to South America in the 1970s.
