In-depth interview with internationally renowned author, journalist and syndicated columnist Naomi Klein on her new book âThe Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalismâ. Klein is best known for her book from the year 2000, the international bestseller âNo Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bulliesâ. It was called âA Movement Bibleâ by the New York Times referring to its incredible impact on the anti-globalization movement.
In this extraordinary interview, Klein discusses the key ideas behind her concept of The Shock Doctrine and its importance as an alternate economic, social and political history of the last thirty years. She describes how the free market ideas of economist Milton Friedman and the Chicago School fostered the impact of shock from the 1970s Pinochet regime in Chile to the Bush administration today.
