Book Meme

I Just saw the book meme at Kemal’s blog and found it interesting enough to join in. The book that was closest to me was The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, which I happen to be currently reading. Here is the fifth sentence from page 56:

The Keynesian revolution against laissez-faire was costing the corporate sector dearly.

If you’d like to join here are the rules:

  • Grab the nearest book.
  • Open it to page 56. Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  • Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

    …Clearly what was needed to lost ground was a counter revolution against Keynesianism, a return to a form of capitalism even less regulated then before the Depression….

    Thanks for the great meme!
