Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine, will draw the connections between economic policy, “shock and awe” warfare,and covert CIA-funded experiments in electroshock and sensory deprivation in the 1950’s. Based on four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, she will explain how disaster capitalism – the rapid-fire corporate reengineering of societies – did not begin with September 11, 2001.
