Book
The shock doctrine : the rise of disaster capitalism / Naomi Klein.
"Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. She exposes the thinking, the money trail and the puppet-strings behind the world-changing crises of the last four decades. She shows how collective crises or disasters (real or manufactured -- from Pinochet's coup in Chile in 1973 to the 'War on Terror' to Hurricane Katrina ) have been used to push through profoundly unpopular policies on people and societies too disoriented to protect their own interests. And she vividly reveals how the power of shock -- from economic "shock therapy" to war and even torture -- has been harnessed to impose what she calls 'disaster capitalism.'. Critics agree: Naomi Klein has once again written a book that changes the way we see the world." --Back cover.
