The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein is a groundbreaking, globally influential work of investigative journalism that exposes a chilling truth: in the wake of disaster—be it war, natural catastrophe, or economic collapse—there are those who see not tragedy, but opportunity.
With clarity, force, and precision, Klein reveals how governments and corporations exploit crises to implement radical free-market policies that benefit the elite while devastating ordinary people. From post-Katrina New Orleans to post-invasion Iraq, she follows the global trail of "disaster capitalism," showing how moments of chaos are used to push through privatization, deregulation, and austerity measures—often against the public’s will.
A modern classic, The Shock Doctrine isn’t just a book—it’s a warning. And it’s more relevant today than ever.
Inside, you’ll uncover:
-
The hidden economic agendas behind global disasters
-
How neoliberal policies thrive in chaos
-
Real-life examples from Latin America, the Middle East, the U.S., and beyond
