The Shock Doctrine (Paperback) By Naomi Klein

Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (Paperback) is a compelling investigation into how neoliberal policies are pushed through during times of crisis. Drawing on thorough historical research and four years of field reporting, Klein exposes how governments and corporations exploit wars, natural disasters, and political upheaval to enact radical economic reforms—like privatization, deregulation, and austerity—while citizens are too overwhelmed to resist. Featuring case studies from Chile, Russia, Iraq, New Orleans, and beyond, this bestselling 2007 work redefines free-market ideology as “disaster capitalism.” A must-read for activists, students, journalists, and anyone seeking to understand the mechanics of power in crisis.
