The Shock Doctrine background

The Shock Doctrine

An examination of how neo-liberal capitalism exploits and profits from crises such as natural disasters, war, and terror to further entrench its power and control.

Naomi Klein delivers a thought-provoking lecture exploring the connection between psychological manipulation and economic shock therapy. She examines the use of "shock treatment" in various countries, including Chile, Argentina, Russia, and Iraq, highlighting how a common narrative of fear and villainy is used to justify the transfer of wealth and power from the masses to a privileged few.
