Crises are not coincidences, they are opportunities!
Naomi Klein reveals the dark side of the world order with The Shock Doctrine. Earthquakes, wars, economic collapses… Are all these crises merely disasters or are they deliberately used as tools to expand the boundaries of the free market?
With the concept of Disaster Capitalism, Klein explains with striking examples how pro-market policies are quickly put into effect when societies are stunned by crises. She examines how crises are used as an opportunity for the expansion of the free market in many countries, from Chile to Iraq, from Russia to Indonesia. Global elites step in when societies are paralyzed and reshape markets under the guise of “solutions.” This process results in the shrinking of the state, the privatization of public assets, and the increased power of financial capital.
So why does every crisis always work in the interests of certain groups? If you are wondering the answer to this question, The Shock Doctrine is exactly the book you need!
