Naomi Klein Wins £50,000 Warwick Prize

“The complexity of Naomi Klein’s portrayal of the rise of disaster capitalism, The Shock Doctrine, has won its author the inaugural £50,000 Warwick prize for writing. The biennial prize, run by Warwick University, is promising to be one of the most unusual prizes on the books calendar, not least because it will tackle a different theme every two years, with ‘complexity’ chosen as its initial focus.”
