Naomi Klein may not be in the White House, but Rahm Emanuel has clearly read her work - The Shock Doctrine. Charles Krauthammer quotes Emanuel as saying, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before."
Klein accuses Milton Friedman as using the shock doctrine to impose free market solutions on various countries. Her book is utter nonsense, but Emanuel seems to be taking her approach as a guide to impose the usual Democratic big government answers on this country in the name of ending the economic crisis.
