Jacob Goldstein
A Harmonious Echo
You've found a profound echo between these two books, recognizing how the fundamental 'trust' that underpins money, as detailed in Goldstein's 'Money,' is precisely the trust that Naomi Klein argues is systematically eroded by the forces of capitalism in 'The Shock Doctrine.' Your high ratings reflect this deep resonance: you appreciated the historical genesis of trust in money and were ultimately 'shaken up' by how that very trust is exploited and weaponized in the modern financial and political landscape.
