The National Bestseller by the author of No Logo–“Impassioned, hugely informative, wonderfully controversial, and scary as hell.” –John Le Carre
In this groudbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman’s free market economic revolution, Naomi Klein retells recent history from Chile in 1973 to Iraq today. Combining years of research, and on-the-ground reporting, she challenges the popular myth of this movement’s peaceful global victory showing how it has repeatedly exploited crises and shock. As John Gray wrote in The Guardian, “There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books.”
