Synopsis "the shock doctrine"

Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors. Thrilling and revelatory, The Shock Doctrine cracks open the secret history of our era. Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors ` beliefs now dominate our world - and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.

Naomi Klein was born on May 8, 1970 in Montreal, Canada, into a family of political activists. Her childhood was marked by social commitment and creativity: her grandfather was an animator at Disney and a unionist, and her parents emigrated to Canada from the United States in protest against the Vietnam War. Klein studied philosophy and literature at the University of Toronto, although she temporarily left her studies to work as a journalist at The Globe and Mail

Klein is one of the most influential voices in contemporary critical thought, recognized for her analysis of corporate power, globalization, and the climate crisis. Her work combines investigative journalism, essay writing, and social critique, addressing issues such as brand capitalism, neoliberalism, media manipulation, and climate justice. She has been a university professor, columnist in international media, and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia.

Among her most famous works are: No Logo (1999), Fences and Windows (2002), The Take (2004), and The Shock Doctrine (2007).
