Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein

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. n n 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. n n 'Packed with thinking dynamite... a book to be read everywhere' John Berger n n 'If you only read one non-fiction book this year, make it this one' Metro Books of the Year n n 'There are a few books that really help us understand the present.
