Naomi Klein

“Katherine Gustafson is a troubadour for sustainable food, inviting us to jump into her rental car as she maps the inspiring alternative food system emerging across the United States. And here’s a pleasant surprise: we don’t spend any time in the privileged bubbles of Brooklyn or Berkeley; Gustafson’s expansive and hopeful portrait puts the rest of America back in the picture. Change comes to dinner shows us the outline of a sane food system: now it’s up to us to fill it in.” Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

Naomi Klein discusses Chokdoktrinen.

Chokdoktrinen kalder Naomi Klein den amerikanske regerings brutale strategi i verdens kriseområder gennem mere end 40 år. Blandt midlerne er privatisering, frit løb for markedskræfter, underminering af sociale systemer og bekæmpelse af fagbevægelser. Naomi Kleins bog spænder over et halvt århundredes verdenshistorie fra Latinamerikas CIA-indsatte diktatorer i 1970'erne til ’genopbygningen’ af Irak efter den amerikanske invasion.
