Perhaps. But I'm just thinking out loud, making notes, trying to work out the angles.

The premise of Klein's new book is that our present economic model (market fundamentalism) is the problem. I definitely see where she's coming from.

Since economists tend to be enamored with the idea of free trade, they are largely a part of the problem.

Therefore, it's up to the people to try and come up with a workable, practical, alternative economic model (which must be based on solid economic principles to defeat the neoliberals.)

Since representational democracy is corrupted (along with the fourth estate,) we need a new democratic model as well. The new democratic model (direct global democracy implementing over the internet) is also required to enforce the alternative economic model.

Since we are repeating all the mistakes of the 1930s, our economic crisis is just getting started. So this will either provide the impetus for revolutionary change or plunge the world into another world war.

I have faith the former will happen.
