"The Shock Doctrine," a book by Naomi Klein, explores how governments and corporations exploit crises to implement controversial policies. Klein argues that during moments of shock—such as natural disasters, economic upheavals, or wars—people are often too disoriented to resist drastic changes. This allows leaders to push through neoliberal reforms that benefit the elite at the expense of the public. The book highlights various historical examples, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the economic reforms in Chile under Augusto Pinochet. Klein contends that these moments of crisis are used strategically to reshape societies, often leading to increased inequality and loss of public services.
