The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.

KLEIN, Naomi.

Item Number: 15091

New York: Metropolitan Books, 2007.

First edition of this work which argues that neoliberal free market policies have risen to prominence in some developed countries because of a deliberate strategy of “shock therapy”. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Naomi Klein on the half-title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light shelfwear. Jacket design by Lisa Fyfe.

In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. 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."
