Synopsis
If you wonder what happened to the middle class in the last 40 years, why poverty is on the rise , you'll find lots of food for thought in Naomi Klein's THE SHOCK DOCTRINE. Tracing the rise of the "Chicago Boys" laissez-faire economic beliefs, their impact on South America, China, Russia, Poland and South Africa and how it impacted their forms of government, Klein makes a compelling argument for the flaws in Milton Friedman's economic theories.
