Outside Agitator

by Larissa MacFarquhar

This is an excellent and entertaining profile of Naomi Klein. I've never read any of Klein's books, mostly because No Logo was such a media darling when it came out, I just decided it had to be no good. Now I'm starting to regret that decision.

This article examines the main ideas of Klein's new book, "The Shock Doctrine" and how the recent events in the financial sector have been proving her right.

It also talks a lot about the Left, and what's needed to 'move the centre'. Klein has a very unique perspective on politics, and the Movement. Basically, if you like a lot of common nouns capitalized so they represent something bigger, this is a great article.
