On "Democracy" in contemporary America

I just picked up two books by 'the' Naomi's today.
I saw them in the book shop and I was compelled.

1) The End of America: A Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot
by Naomi Wolff

Naomi Wolff is on the Colbert Report
We don't have a lot of time free societies close down very quickly she points out and we need a democracy movement to restore the rule of law.

2) The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
by Naomi Klein

This is a short film about the topic of the book.

3) I recently was pointed to the Century of the Self a film by the BBC. it is a documentary about the role of psychoanalysis, marketing, and public relations in the united states. The concluding installment covers the application of these techniques in the "democratic" political process.

It is well worth watching and is on the Internet Archive.
