Check out this excellent 6 minute video produced by the director who recently made the film "Children of Men" and Naomi Kline, author of the The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. It nicely sums up her new book in a dramatic visual style. Included are Milton Friedman's theories on disaster capitalism, as well as the text of CIA manuals on torture techniques (which seem to have been applied to us as a society).
