The Shock Doctrine: Naomi Klein on the Rise of Disaster Capitalism *
Pinochet's coup in Chile. The massacre in Tiananmen Square. The collapse of
the Soviet Union. September 11th, 2001. The war on Iraq. The Asian tsunami
and Hurricane Katrina. Award-winning investigative journalist Naomi Klein
brings together all of these world-changing events in her new book, "The
Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism." In her first national
broadcast interview since the publication of "The Shock Doctrine," Klein
joins us in our firehouse studio for the hour. Klein writes, "The history of
the contemporary free market was written in shocks." She argues that "Some
of the most infamous human rights violations of the past thirty-five years,
which have tended to be viewed as sadistic acts carried out by
anti-democratic regimes, were in fact either committed with the deliberate
intent of terrorizing the public or actively harnessed to prepare the ground
for the introduction of radical free-market reforms."
Do you think the shock doctrine is it a philosphy that is working or has worked here in the US, like when we have diseasters like Katrina, 9/II, tsunami and others that are used to implement governmental change?
