Preface to the Summary

The Shock Doctrine offers stunning facts and indicting historical events, adeptly strung together in a narrative of free market ideology and reform over the last 50 years. The book offers the definitive history of a particular and particularly reprehensible vein of free market reform, disaster capitalism. The driving analogy compares disaster capitalism to torture, which shocks, distracts, and deconstructs the popular identity while agents provocateurs slip in otherwise rejected reforms. These reforms have vast repercussions to all affected.

I wrote this summary several months after reading the book, based on notes I took. Any mistakes, misquotes, or omissions in the summary are likely mine; correct factual information and analysis is Naomi Klein’s. As I try to outline the history and concepts from The Shock Doctrine, I’m not trying to take credit. I’m also not trying to make any money, so please, nobody sue me.

I’m not attempting to critique or review the book but to summarize it as comprehensively as I can. This summary is not a substitute: Please Read The Shock Doctrine.

20 comments:

  1. The Shock Doctrine was not and is still not driven by Capitalism. You've got to look deeper. Profit is only a bi-product. Klein missed the real story, which is the United Nations Agenda for the 21st Century, AKA Agenda 21. Its not so much about money but the bringing of nations into line with the NWO. Think about it. When you print the world's currency and control the world markets, you can simply print all the money you need.

  19. My name is Fajar. I live in Bedono in Central Java I was in a very chronic financial issue and terminal health situation some few weeks back. After all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive, I feel there was no one who truly cares. I became so exhausted due to lack of funds to expand my business and my 2 kids aged 5 and 8 were also not good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance. One faithful morning I saw an old time friend of my late husband and I told him all I have been going through and he said the only way he could help was to direct me to a good loan officer in USA that also helped him, He explained to me on how he was financially down and how he got boosted by this loan officer ( Mr Pedro who grant him 7,000,000.00 USD loan at an affordable rate of 2% rate . He further assured me that they were the only legit loan firm he found online. He gave me their email & That was how I applied and was also granted a loan and my life changed for the good. CONTACT THE ONLY GENUINE LENDER Mr Pedro VIA Email / Whatsapp +18632310632 pedroloanss@gmail.com to resolve your financial mess.
