The Shock Doctrine comes (inevitably, apparently) to the US

[ProfessorPlum]

it's becoming clear that the trump administration plans to "shock doctrine" the US. This is probably a good time to read the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein - or at least and especially the last chapter, which is about surviving, fighting, and organizing against Shock.

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a 2007 book by Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein. In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal economic policies promoted by Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Economics have risen to global prominence because of a deliberate strategy she calls "disaster capitalism". In this strategy, political actors exploit the chaos of natural disasters, wars, and other crises to push through unpopular policies such as deregulation and privatization. This economic "shock therapy" favors corporate interests while disadvantaging and disenfranchising citizens when they are too distracted and overwhelmed to respond or resist effectively.
