The Shock Doctrine

by Chris Gilbey at 05:38PM (EST) on October 17, 2007 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I have just started reading the new Naomi Klein book. What a tour de force this is!

The Shock Doctrine - The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.

We all need to wake up and realize that that news as it happens on the front page of the newspaper each day has been re-defined. Some stories happened by accident. Most stories happen on purpose. And most of the latter kind took time, research, stage-management, etc to see the light of day. This is not about conspiracy theories. This is about marketing.

Politics is marketed just like any other product. And like products, brands and businesses, some visions are massive and take a long time to pull off. I urge you to read the book.

There is also a video promo for the book at YouTube which I have embedded here...

Perceptric Forum

This Forum is where the partners in Perceptric Limited invite you to join us and explore issues that impact on business, consumers and communications.

Perceptric's mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations.

The essence of this mission is for us to be clear thinking about business and change. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.

Each of the partners in Perceptric has been extremely successful in their chosen field by working this way. More than theory we each know it works.

As a company we work with our clients in the United States, Asia and Pacific regions, including Australia, to maximize their opportunities in an ever accelerating change environment.
