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.
Naomi Klein的处女作”No Logo“是部颇为清新的社会批评,但本书却遭到不少恶评。最近因上课需要读了此书,举目所及,果然漏洞百出。 先看Klein的创作手法。Klein全书始于对1950年代耸人听闻的CIA电击逼供手段的细致描写,试图以此引起读者注意,并借此灌输一个比喻:正如电击...
评分四年前在LSE图书馆看到她的另一本书:NO LOGO,当时因为读的理论太多了,为了继续读和理论有关的书的同时也找一点点有意思的东西来看,就选了那本黑色封面的NO LOGO。虽然没有全部读完,但还是被她所采取的视角吸引。今天在KLCC里面的大书店,看到了这一本,目录里面的东西还真...

评分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...
很好的,忽然又从另一个角度看很多事情。
评分G师熊猫师给了两星,我觉得这个结果不太公道!
评分我不知道打五星的读者是不是缺乏一些起码的历史常识
评分惨事便乗型資本主義の正体を暴くー先要搞清除芝加哥学派和奥地利学派,然后再说.脑残真是读一本书所需要的背景知识全无啊.
评分偏见太多,以至于养分不足
