The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
by Naomi Klein
Amazon Price: $9.60
Customer Review: Naomi Klein has exposed Milton Friedman and the "Chicago Boys" just as Ida Tarbell exposed John D. Rockefeller in an earlier time. In other words, beware of those who worship "markets"--usually such worshippers leave out the fact that the only capita...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Amazon Price: $17.13
Customer Review: I enjoyed the book. Despite having a mostly sad story line, the two female main characters demonstrated courage, love, and hope in an otherwise brutal and oppressive marriage. This book is not for children since it frequently describes sexual encoun...

Orientalism
by Edward W. Said
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: Dr. Said missed the track completely with this supposed historical analysis that is neither historical nor good analysis. While I won't write pages of critique, here are just a few examples of poor work to make points not supported by fact (nor fait...
