The Shock Doctrine

"The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein is a critically acclaimed bestseller that explores how economic policies, often implemented during times of crisis, have been used to exploit disasters and instigate radical privatization worldwide. Klein examines the history of disaster capitalism, illustrating how moments of upheaval—whether caused by war, natural calamities, or social turmoil—have been used to advance a free-market revolution. The book sheds light on the controversial ways in which crises have been leveraged to reshape economies and societies in pursuit of corporate interests.
