Review

"[A] powerful populist indictment of economic orthodoxy."

Publisher's note

In an introduction to the concept of "disaster capitalism," the award-winning author of No Logo offers a revealing exposé of how the global "free market" has exploited crises, violence, and shock over the past three decades to promote radical privatization that benefits large corporations and powerful interest groups. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.

Annotation

Imposing capitalistic ideals and practices on a population in a post-disaster crisis is an increasingly common occurrence, most vividly demonstrated by events in wartime Iraq. But journalist Naomi Klein (NO LOGO) maintains that this process of "disaster capitalism" has been in place for decades, with roots in the Chicago School and Milton Friedman's widely influential economic philosophies. Though she doesn't blame Friedman directly, she makes a compelling case that privileged nations have long made a practice of taking advantage of people who, in literal and metaphorical shock, have regressed to a childlike state and momentarily lose resistance to social control. In highly readable prose, Klein argues reasonably that a free market is not always so free, and that democracy and capitalism do not necessarily arise concomitantly.
