Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia & the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed & catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors. Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information & connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors` beliefs now dominate our world
- & how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq
- this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed. ” Packed with thinking dynamite...a book to be read everywhere.” (John Berger). ” If you only read one non-fiction book this year, make it this one.” (Metro Books of the Year). ” There are a few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books.” (John Gray, Guardian). ”A brilliant book written with a perfectly distilled anger, channelled through hard fact. She has indeed surpassed No Logo.” (Independent).
