Die Schock-Strategie: Der Aufstieg des Katastrophen-Kapitalismus ist ein im September 2007 in deutscher Übersetzung aus dem Englischen erschienenes kapitalismuskritisches Buch der kanadischen Journalistin Naomi Klein. Die Autorin führt anhand von zeitgeschichtlichen Beispielen aus, wie Schocks wirtschaftlicher oder militärischer Art und Naturkatastrophen dazu genutzt werden können, über politischen Einfluss Privatisierungen nach dem Modell der Chicagoer Schule und insbesondere Milton Friedmans in nationalen Volkswirtschaften gegen den politisch artikulierten Willen der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung durchzusetzen.

The most upsetting book I’ve read in a while

Thanks to this book, I’ll now celebrate the day Milton Friedman died as a holiday (Nov 16).

This is an absolutely phenomenal book. Having grown up in a country that has been on the receiving end of the titular shock doctrine, this book gave me the tools to better understand my experience.

Overall I would 100% recommend reading The Shock Doctrine, just with a warning that it might make you very, very angry at the …
