The Shock Doctrine:
The Rise of Disaster Capitalism", book & film, by award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist and internationally best-selling author - Naomi Klein.
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 re-engineering of societies still reeling from shock -- did not begin with
September 11, 2001.
The films traces its origins back fifty years, to the
University of Chicago under
Milton Friedman,
Frederick Von Hayek, Right-wing
Libertarian (
Fascist) Ultra-Conservative Neo-Liberal economists, who personally assisted in orchestrating the violent nightmarish unprecedentedly bloody brutal Fascist coup against
President Salvatore
Allende, a legally and democratically elected with the popular vote and landslide victory, an incredibly authentically genuinely popular president, a
Democratic Socialist (not a Marxist but distorted to make people believe so)
the Libertarian Right-wing economists
Friedman &
Von Hayek, personally put together the economic structure of
Pinochet's economy & financial structure and his Right-wing Ultra-Conservative political Govt administration, with the help of fellow, University of Chicago, economics dept "
Chicago School" economists and Fascist apologist historians, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in
Washington today.
The citizens who resisted in the millions, were arrested and put into concentration camps and tortured, massacred, mutilated or murdered and destroyed in mass unmarked arbitrary graves. the "disappeared".
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.
