Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780141024530
Synopsis
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a bestselling 2007 book by the Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein.
In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal free market policies have risen to prominence in some developed countries because of a deliberate strategy of "shock therapy".
Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image.
They are the shock doctors. This is the tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.
