Naomi Klein to speak in Regina, Sept. 23

Briarpatch Magazine presents:

A public lecture by author Naomi Klein

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism

Education Auditorium, University Of Regina
Sept 23 7:30 pm

In an era of growing climatic, economic, and geopolitical instability, Naomi Klein’s analysis of the rise of neo-liberalism and the political uses to which disasters are put is useful and timely indeed. As William S. Kowinski of The San Francisco Chronicle has said, “Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time.”

This event will provide a venue for discussing and debating Klein’s ideas, for introducing them to a new generation of activists, and for connecting ideas to action.

Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist and syndicated columnist and author of the international and New York Times bestsellers The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and No Logo.
