Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist, documentary filmmaker and author of the international bestsellers No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate. She is a senior correspondent for The Intercept and her writing appears widely in such publications as The New York Times, Le Monde, The Guardian and The Nation, where she is a contributing editor.

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.

評分 評分四年前在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...

評分继《NO LOGO》之后,加拿大左派知识分子娜奥米•克莱恩又为我们为我们描述了“休克疗法”在世界多国所造成的一幅又一幅的灾难图景,通读全书,不得不为作者的激情叙事所折服,书中呈现的这些“黑镜头”式的灾难图景难免会激起读者对于新自由主义、芝加哥学派以及休克...
觀點蠻有趣的
评分很好的,忽然又從另一個角度看很多事情。
评分No Logo的同一個作者。Milton Friedman在Naomi Klein看來是個罪魁禍首,是邪惡的。所謂的shock doctrine就是把一套的觀念施加於一個強烈受挫的民族,人群或個人。比如9.11後的美國,Katrina後的New Orleans,戰後的伊拉剋,她還提到中國的六四風波,都是利用瞭受驚嚇的人們,乘機將私有化,deregulation,削減福利,即資本主義,加於可憐的人們頭上。在你還來不及反抗的時候,另一個災難-“資本主義災難”就已經降臨瞭。不過她作為一個journalist盡情
