The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

Writer and activist Naomi Klein is watching over the financial crisis and the presidential transition very carefully. Klein believes this is a moment for us to make some important changes. I agree! We all need to stay involved and informed. There is a good profile in the New Yorker by Larissa MacFarquhar about Klein.

Klein’s most recent book looks fascinating and has moved to the top of my reading list.

He wrote a detailed letter to the next U.S. President about food as an issue of national security. His letter appeared in the New York Times Magazine on October 12, 2009. Terri Gross did a wonderful interview with Michael Pollan on Fresh Air a few days ago. Please listen to it!
