From the Inside Flap
In her groundbreaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of the invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it "disaster capitalism." Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkable similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock therapy," losting their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. In Blank is Beautiful, Klein explores the deeply rooted impulse to erase what is inconvenient and start over from scratch.
