ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" explores the argument that major societal shocks, such as natural disasters, wars, and economic crises, are deliberately exploited to implement radical free market economic reforms. The book examines how these moments of disorientation are used to push through policies like privatization and deregulation, often associated with the theories of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School. It investigates various historical events across the globe, suggesting a pattern of what Klein terms "disaster capitalism" and also looks at the ideological responses and resistance that these actions generate.
