The shock doctrine - Naomi Klein

'Impassioned, hugely informative, wonderfully controversial, and scary as hell' John le Carr

Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle
East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos;
exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in
their image. They are the shock doctors.

Exposing these global
profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that
shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors' beliefs
now dominate our world - and 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.
