Books like The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein


In *The Shock Doctrine*, Canadian author and activist Naomi Klein contends that neoliberal free‑market policies, championed by figures such as Milton Friedman, have been enforced through a deliberate"shock therapy" strategy. By exploiting national disasters and upheavals—whether natural, economic or military—governments and businesses introduce controversial reforms while citizens are too distracted to organize effective resistance. Klein uses events like the Iraq War to illustrate how such crises can be used to push through unpopular policies. The book sparked debate, with some critics claiming oversimplification and others praising its insight, and it inspired a 2009 documentary of the same title.
