The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
by Naomi Klein
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 inThe Guardian,"There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrineis one of those books.
