Hidden History (hidhist.wordpress.com):
… been broken. In recent months, several articles and reports have come out claiming to debunk my thesis. The most prominent are a “background paper” published by The Cato Institute, extended into a full length book in Swedish (!), anda lengthy essayin The New Republic by senior editor Jonathan Chait. Several readers have written to asking me to respond to these attacks, if only to help them defend the book more effectively. I resisted at first (clinging to my summer vacation) but I appreciate the feedback and severa …

… interest quickly from one "bestseller" on the list to the next and it takes a lot of blow and hard to keep your book front and center at the cash register. Klein addresses one such attack on The Shock Doctrine from Jonathan Chait in an article atThe New Republic, title Dead Left Lol, how appropriate. Klein claims she resisted responding to the "attacks" but now feels compelled to do so for her fans have spoken and request it. It seems some disagree with Klein's portrayal of Milton Friedman as a supporter …

Norberg har så klart lovat besvara kritiken (vilket han gör här ). Utan att gå in i bokens alla detaljer vill jag bara säga det Kleins försvar inte &# …

More or Less Bunk (moreorlessbunk.wordpress.com):
… When UD first showed me Jonathan Chait’s hostile review of Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrinein The New Republica few weeks ago, I bit my tongue. Heaven knows the intellectual history of free market conservatism is not my strong suit. It didn’t help that I hadn’t read Klein since it came out almost a year ago. Thank goodness Naomi Klein has now responded to that revi …

… But still Jonathan (Big Con) Chaittakes issuewith Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine. "Like every conspiracy theory, Klein's account of the fate of the world finally lacks internal logic. She points to one instance of American soldiers dismembering Iraqi passenger planes, inflicting "$100 million worth …

Själv har jag inte läst den men kan konstatera att vissa finner den osaklig — se t.ex. recensioner avJonathan Chaitoch Tyler Cowen samt Johan Norbergs analys — medan andra hyllar den. Intressant nog återfinns två högst respektabla personer i hyllningskören: ekonomipristagaren Joseph Stiglitz och filosofen John Gray …

The New Editor (www.theneweditor.com):
… Jonathan Chait reviews Naomi Klein's book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, taking apart the anti-corporate, anti-globalization themes that run through Klein's arguments. Chait writes,in part: The Shock Doctrine has a single, uncomplicated explanation for everything that ails us. It identifies the fundamental driving force of the last three decades to be the worldwide spread of free-market absolutism as it was formulated by Milton Friedman …

That's the Press, Baby (davisullblog.blogspot.com):
… print remains a technology in search of a business plan that, like the 13th Imam, is still in occlusion. The best way to help print is to Put Ideas on the Table. Lots of them. Counterattack can be the best defense. Milton Friedman is quoted in thecurrent New Republic-- actually he is quoted by Naomi Klein in "The Shock Doctrine," which then is quoted by reviewer Jonathan Chait, but let's assume that someone, perhaps a copy editor, verified that Friedman actually said this -- "Only a crisis -- actual or perceived -- …
