The bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global free market has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to Iraq

In her groundbreaking reporting over the past few years, Naomi Klein introduced the term disaster capitalism. Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. 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.

The Shock Doctrine 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.

At 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.

From Publishers Weekly

The neo-liberal economic policies—privatization, free trade, slashed social spending—that the Chicago School and the economist Milton Friedman have foisted on the world are catastrophic in two senses, argues this vigorous polemic. Because their results are disastrous—depressions, mass poverty, private corporations looting public wealth, by the author's accounting—their means must be cataclysmic, dependent on political upheavals and natural disasters as coercive pretexts for free-market reforms the public would normally reject. Journalist Klein (No Logo) chronicles decades of such disasters, including the Chicago School makeovers launched by South American coups; the corrupt sale of Russia's state economy to oligarchs following the collapse of the Soviet Union; the privatization of New Orleans's public schools after Katrina; and the seizure of wrecked fishing villages by resort developers after the Asian tsunami. Klein's economic and political analyses are not always meticulous. Likening free-market shock therapies to electroshock torture, she conflates every misdeed of right-wing dictatorships with their economic programs and paints a too simplistic picture of the Iraq conflict as a struggle over American-imposed neo-liberalism. Still, much of her critique hits home, as she demonstrates how free-market ideologues welcome, and provoke, the collapse of other people's economies. The result is a powerful populist indictment of economic orthodoxy.

读后感

【弗里德曼】 根据他的观点，国家唯一的功能是“保护我们的自由，免于国门外的敌人及我们同胞的侵害：维护法律和秩序，执行私人合约，促进竞争市场”。换句话说，就是供应警察和士兵--其他的一切作为，包括提供免费教育，都是对市场的不公平干预。 弗里德曼第一次学到如何利...

Naomi Klein的The Shock Doctrine不是一本新书。它在数年前一出版时我就因为《纽约时报》的书评知道它，但直到今日连中文版和电影都出了之后我才读它。 之所以放着此书不读，很大原因是早期此书的电子版无法找到，于是我先买了一本Klein的No Logo看看此人水平怎样。看过那本书...

No Logo的同一个作者。Milton Friedman在Naomi Klein看来是个罪魁祸首，是邪恶的。所谓的shock doctrine就是把一套的观念施加于一个强烈受挫的民族，人群或个人。比如9.11后的美国，Katrina后的New Orleans，战后的伊拉克，她还提到中国的六四风波，都是利用了受惊吓的人们，乘机将私有化，deregulation，削减福利，即资本主义，加于可怜的人们头上。在你还来不及反抗的时候，另一个灾难－“资本主义灾难”就已经降临了。不过她作为一个journalist尽情
