The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein
- In english. First published in 2007.
Naomi Klein takes a fresh look at the history of countries and economies by examining economic policy making. It is a significant, layered effort that boldly reinterprets facts that have often been excluded from mainstream accounts. Although not all of her observations are new, the most fascinating aspect of "The Shock Doctrine" is the way Klein stitches together the global economy, looking at the similarities that accompanied its formation in different countries.
-> As I had previously discovered Naomi Klein in her book "No logo", and know about her views on big Corporation and Societies, I wanted to see how she did see the economical world history... with the USA... as her preferred target. Always rich of food for further thoughts.
