Overview

In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free-market economic revolution, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. As John Gray wrote in The Guardian, "There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books."

  • A MUST READ

    Lesley M. - 5 years 3 months ago

    In the Shock Doctrine Naomi Klein highlights the methodology of disaster capitalism in comprehensive detail. She explains how governments use disasters to privatize utilities of different countries in order to transfer power to corporations at the cost of the lives of the people in whatever country these multinational corporations are interested in. Every American should read this book!
