Anybody read any Naomi Klein? I ask because this book directly approaches any issue I have thought about for some time.

I've read some of her articles but not her books. Not sure what book you're referring to, since your link doesn't work, but Shock Doctrine is her best known work, by far. She's solidly left, but I don't know that conservatives can disagree with it, as something very close to her thesis was neatly summed up by Milton Friedman (decades earlier):
Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable. -
