The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. The Shock Doctrine book is written by famous award winning leftist journalist Naomi Klein. Famous journalist has exposed the warmongers ruling elites of the Uncle Samand other global powers who are movers and shakers of Global International System. The prime object of hyper power and its allies are not flourishing democratic values in the globe as propagated by Uncle Sam. In The Shock Doctrine, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries. In her book she has written how global powers leaders have been dictated their agenda in third world countries from cold war era to war on terror. She writes and exposed the western powers hidden games pursing interests of neo liberal doctrine. She writes that how western powers compelled former USSR leader Michael Gorbacheve, Yelstion bringing neoliberals reforms in former USSR after the end of second cold war era . In countries like , Indonesia , Argentine , Chile and in other third world countries brought up their favorite leaders toppling their political foes .She writes that late Nelson Mandela was forced by global powers to do compromise with apartheid regime . Later they imposed neo liberal reform depriving black people from their genuine rights as pledged by late Nelson Mandela and other leadership with people of South Africa in the Charter of Demand written by leaders in the party constitution with the mutual will of people. Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, The Shock Doctrine vividly shows how disaster capitalism – the rapid-fire corporate reengineering of societies still reeling from shock – did not begin with September 11, 2001. The book traces its origins back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in Washington today. New, surprising connections are drawn between economic policy, “shock and awe” warfare and covert CIA-funded experiments in electroshock and sensory deprivation in the 1950s, research that helped write the torture manuals used today in Guantanamo bay. The Shock Doctrine follows the application of these ideas through our contemporary history, showing in riveting detail how well-known events of the recent past have been deliberate, active theatres for the shock doctrine, among them: Pinochet’s coup in Chile in 1973, the Falklands War in 1982, the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Asian Financial crisis in 1997 and Hurricane Mitch in 1998. End.
