Justice, humanity, and the new world order Book

Acceptable left-wing reportage from Naomi Klein, even if her optimism and naivete can be a bit grating at points, and some of these essays have aged as well as a film review in Ain't It Cool News circa 1998. For instance, her report on the carnivalesque street protests that accompanied the meetings of various global elites in the '90s were horrifically self-important (raise your hands if you never want to hear phrases like "culture jamming" ever, ever again), even if as they went on, she realized that there needed to be stronger real action in addition to mere shows of force. Furthermore, the criticism of GMOs in principle -- while Monsanto et al deserve all the hate they can get -- strikes me as at least a little bit first-world liberal in orientation and scientifically illiterate. Read if you're a Naomi Klein fan, but otherwise pass.
