However, I think that <i>The Shock Doctrine</i> is actually the better of the two books. Simply stated: it is exceptional, perhaps the best book I have read this year (and I've read a decent amount of good books this year). It is also worth reading before <i>The End of Poverty</i>, as it will force you to see Sachs from a very different angle.<br /> <br /> Grace and peace.

I picked it up this morning, but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. She was here last Sat pm at a book launch/signing. <br /> <br /> Two other books, and Coop started this ... Thomas Homer-Dixon's Ingenuity Gap ( '01 ) and Upside of Down ( '06 ) have been pretty influential in my thinking recently.
