People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic \"shock treatment,\" losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Shock Doctrine\u003c\/i\u003e retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador \/ Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism | Naomi Klein | Paperback | 9780312427993 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1741634","offer_id":48168952758424,"sku":"1741634","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Vcf4MlbOL.jpg?v=1771982217","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/shock-doctrine-the-rise-of-disaster-capitalism","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
