Disturbing Book submitted by benmurphysmith on July 28, 2018, 11:59pm This is one of the most eye opening books I have ever read. Naomi Klein exposes the underside of capitalism and it's colonial spread through previously command and other types of economies. The implication being that capitalism is mutually exclusive from widespread prosperity and equity.
