Journalist Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism." Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka after the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed remarkably similar events: people still reeling were hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment," losing their land and homes to corporate makeovers. This book retells the story of Milton Friedman's free-market economic revolution. In contrast to the 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. At its core 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, the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.--From publisher description.… (lisätietoja)
M_Clark: Ramp Hollow looks at the way Appalachia was developed and exploited with the original settlers being progressively marginalized. It shows another side of capitalism long before Milton Friedmann was born.
M_Clark: Milton Friedmann was heavily influenced by Hayek. This book attacks, in a very philosophical way, the fundamental philosophies of Hayek and the neo-liberals.
M_Clark: This book is a perfect compliment to the book of Naomi Klein who often cites it in her book. Its detailed descriptions of the follies of the people in the Green Zone in Bagdad provides additional coverage on the topics in Klein's book.
Erittäin kiinnostava ja yhä ajankohtainen teos yksityistämisestä, kapitalismista ja kriiseistä. Klein ei pelkää sanoa mielipiteitään, ja lähteiden käyttö on kiitettävää. Valitettavasti painos vilisee kirjoitusvirheitä, mikä teki lukemisesta melko tuskallista. ( )
The Shock Doctrine shows in chilling detail how the free market has been backed up with violence over the last 30 years. I suspect it has stirred up a debate already.
