The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism September 13, 2007

"Naomi Klein's new book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a history of the past three decades. Questioning the ideology that 'free markets' and 'free people' are one and the same, Klein traces the rise of 'disaster capitalism' from 1970s dictatorships in South Africa to its present-day incarnation in New Orleans, Iraq and South-East Asia."

Naomi Klein is an author, film-maker and investigative journalist whose book No Logo brought her a worldwide readership. She presents the themes behind The Shock Doctrine and then discusses her work with Jude Kelly, Artistic Director of Southbank Centre.
