Naomi Klein calls the story of how the 'free market' came to dominate the world from Chile to Russia, China to Iraq, South Africa to Britain the 'shock doctrine'. From the 1970s dictatorships of South America, through the Falklands War, Tiananmen Square and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Naomi Klein reinterprets our past to trace the rise of disaster capitalism, a program of social and economic engineering advanced through shock. Playing out today around the world in Israel, Iraq, New Orleans and South-East Asia, The Shock Doctrine reveals the true beliefs that lie behind global policy. She is the author of the international bestseller No Logo and a widely published journalist.
