A major work of political and economic criticism, The Shock Doctrine examines what Naomi Klein calls “disaster capitalism”: the use of wars, crises, coups, natural disasters, and social upheaval to push through radical free-market reforms. Moving through examples from Chile, Russia, Iraq, the United States, Asia, and beyond, Klein argues that moments of public shock have been used by governments, corporations, and financial institutions to reshape societies in favour of private profit.
