Global: Naomi Klein to speak in London

Acclaimed writer and activist Naomi Klein is speaking in London, hosted by War on Want as part of the Hands Off Iraqi Oil coalition, and tickets are going fast! The event is the London launch of the paperback edition of her latest book, Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Klein, award winning journalist and author of the renowned anti-globalisation manual No Logo, will be at Friends Meeting House on 19 May. War on Want has criticised Gordon Brown for involving corporations that have been widely attacked for deepening poverty and undermining human rights in his latest scheme to combat global poverty.
