2. I wasn't aware of it until I heard Naomi mention it,

but all the sources of items mentioned in her book are on her webpage at: http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine/resources

I have her book in Audible.com format, not the easiest one to stop and verify by search-engines. I'll be listening to her book once more pretty soon, and I'll use that resource frequently.
