Publications
Webb, Mark Porter. “A Letter To Naomi Klein.” In Factis Pax Volume 2, Number 1, 2008. 137-159.
Critiques Naomi Klein’s analysis of neo-liberalism in The Shock Doctrine and calls for a new approach to understanding and transforming global capitalism
Praise from peace educator Betty Reardon:
Mark Webb has given us the basis of a rich inquiry into alternatives, by basing his response to Klein on one of the most promising and overlooked alternatives to an unjust global economy. He has given us a lens through which to view both the problem of inequity and the realist paradigm that rationalizes it. It is a tool that I hope many peace educators will use.
