Naomi is the author of No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies and Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate and a frequent contributor to The Nation, In These Times, The Globe and Mail, and The Guardian. Her most recent work is, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (September 2007). In this book, she undertakes to show how &ldquo;disaster capitalism,&rdquo; which she defines as &ldquo;orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events, combined with the treatment of disasters as exciting market opportunities,&rdquo; did not begin in the wake of September 11, 2001. Instead, its origins can be traced back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neoconservative and neoliberal thinkers, whose influence is still profound in Washington today.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Shir spoke with Naomi about Israel&rsquo;s role in the disaster capitalism phenomenon, the contradictions in Israeli society, which both profits and suffers from the burdens of being a fortress state in constant conflict, and on the discourse among Israeli economists about the role of peace vs. war in the Israeli economy. http://www.alternativenews.org/images/stories/mp3/AIC.NfW.NaomiKlein_June30_2008.mp3 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:15:04 -0500 bryan@alt-info.org (The Alternative Information Center (AIC))no<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel?a=O4h9Nc8ur2s:r47VVUW-dDA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel?a=O4h9Nc8ur2s:r47VVUW-dDA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel?i=O4h9Nc8ur2s:r47VVUW-dDA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel/~4/O4h9Nc8ur2s" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewsFromWithinPalestine/israel/~3/O4h9Nc8ur2s/AIC.NfW.NaomiKlein_June30_2008.mp3http://www.alternativenews.org/images/stories/mp3/AIC.NfW.NaomiKlein_June30_2008.mp3http://www.alternativenews.org/images/stories/mp3/AIC.NfW.NaomiKlein_June30_2008.mp3 On 16 June, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was in Luxembourg for a meeting of meeting of the EU-Israel Association Council, during which the EU voted unanimously to upgrade its relationship with Israel.
