About the book
A hand grenade of a book whose aftershocks are still being felt over a decade later, Klein’s expose of those individuals who are cashing in on human tragedy makes for scary and indignant reading. Opening a Pandora’s Box of alarming connections between big business and corrupt politics, The Shock Doctrine chills and fascinates in equal measure.
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.
Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors’ beliefs now dominate our world – and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq – this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.
