Synopsis

The Shock Doctrine is a book by Naomi Klein that explores the concept of "disaster capitalism." The book argues that governments and corporations take advantage of natural disasters, wars, and economic crises to push through controversial policies that would not be accepted in normal circumstances.

Klein traces the history of this phenomenon, from the CIA-backed coup in Chile in the 1970s to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the United States. She argues that these moments of crisis are used to implement free-market policies, privatize public services, and weaken labor rights.

The Shock Doctrine also examines the role of think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, in promoting these policies. Klein argues that these organizations use crises to push their agenda and further their goals of deregulation and privatization.

Overall, The Shock Doctrine is a powerful critique of the ways in which governments and corporations exploit crises to further their own interests at the expense of the public. It serves as a warning against the dangers of allowing disaster capitalism to go unchecked.
