  1. 1. No Logo by Naomi Klein

    This book explores the negative effects of corporate branding and globalization. It critiques the marketing strategies of large corporations, arguing that they exploit workers and manipulate consumers. The author also discusses how these corporations have a significant influence on culture and public space. The book suggests that consumer activism and grassroots movements can serve as effective counter-forces to corporate power.

  2. 2. The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein

    This book explores the concept of "disaster capitalism", the idea that global capitalism thrives on disaster and chaos. The author argues that free market policies are often pushed through while countries are reeling from wars, natural disasters, or economic crises. She provides a historical analysis of these events, from Chile in the 1970s, to Russia in the 1990s, to the war in Iraq, demonstrating how governments and corporations exploit these periods of shock to implement economic reforms that would otherwise be rejected.

  3. 3. Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth by Margaret Atwood

    This book is an exploration of the concept of debt, both financial and moral, and its impact on individuals and societies. The author examines the historical, cultural, and moral implications of debt, drawing on a wide range of sources, from classical literature and modern economics to personal anecdotes. The book argues that our attitudes towards debt and wealth have a significant impact on our relationships, our societies, and our world, and calls for a re-evaluation of our attitudes towards debt and repayment.
