Jeezum Crow, neighbors - how cool is Naomi Klein?

When she was in her mid-twenties, she wrote the definitive book on corporate marketing strategies and the new global economy. The book was called NO LOGO, and with its witty reporting, humorous and provocative writing style, and touch of snark, became a hit among us maul-like media heads.

Now the Canadian journalist and author is back with a brand-new book called "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism."

In between the chores, I've managed to read all four excerpts online - the book itself will no doubt pack a tremendous wallop - seeking to expose the new post-9/11 "military/industrial/terror" complex that is re-making corporate globalization using radical free market "shock doctrine" techniques.

Stunning reporting - you can read The Shock Doctrine, all four excerpts here.

Klein is like imperial apologist blowhard Ann Coulter's alter-ego - brainy, beautiful, and razor-sharp, she brings incisive analysis, keen wit and a journalist's eye for personal stories to the table.

Don't miss this new book - on sale next week.
