“Naomi Klein has created a poorly researched and poorly thought out argument in her little theory here. A few things to keep in mind, Naomi Klein is a college dropout journalist, not an economist or even a sociologist or anything related to what she is talking about. Now, not everyone has to be an expert to make a good point, but it sort of lends credibility. Furthermore, she's a Canadian. That wouldn't matter, but most of this criticism is aimed at America and Americans. Just ought to consider the source. This is outright propaganda. The video makes several outright lies and undocumented or proven claims. I have personally read Dr. Friedman's books and watched his PBS series, Freedom to Choose. There was no shock that converted me to his theories, just very very logically argued claims, and sound reasoning. It is what is called self evident. Not to mention, Dr. Friedman carries on a tradition stretching back far longer than what Klein claims. His is in line with Adam Smith, the founder of modern economists, John Locke, JS Mill, many of our founders, the Austrian school of economics, and pretty much the long line of liberal economic theory. Naomi follows a newer, less grounded school of Keynesianism and borderline Marxism. The free market school has accomplished far more than the central planning school. This is a case of looking through all the great benefits of the free market, to find a few blemishes.”

“Aside from saying "uh" three or four times per sentence, she makes it clear that she doesn't understand much about Milton Friedman or his writings. She takes one minor idea of his out of context, miscontrues it, or deliberately distorts it, and then accuses him of being inconsistent. Friedman's...”Read full review »

“I've learned so much from "Shock Doctrine". Ms. Klein tells us the REAL reasons behind the madness of this administration and the NeoCon agenda. Great work Ms. Klein. Thank you.”
