The Shock Doctrine explains an aspect of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. It is a controversial book. Write a 3-5 page (double spaced) essay that explains the central argument of the book, the kind of evidence the author uses to support her argument, and your opinion of the book. Do you agree or not the U.S. is an empire? Is the book relevant and how? I never grade you on what you think, only your ability to understand the book as well as the quality of your argument. Feel free to express yourself and to agree or disagree with the book as you wish, as long as you can support your argument. Use citations from the book, including page numbers, when necessary. Lack of specific support for your argument will lower your grade. Do Not Plagiarize. Focus, be specific, make your best argument. Please submit your paper as a Microsoft Word file anytime from 8 AM, July 24, to 8 PM, August 3.
