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….
Nice book Türker -sits in my library too-
[...] Kendin Yap Türker Keskinpala ‘n?n blogunda kitap mimi ile kar??la?t?m. Kat?lmaya, hatta tercüme etmeye de?er [...]
I am on page 50 (not even 56 yet)
Very intriguing book. Got to get myself a copy since this is a library one and I need to read it fast
Thanks for the great meme!
