Inside Me) and Mat Whitecross (The Road to Guantanamo), and based on
Naomi Klein's provocative bestselling book of the same name, The Shock
Doctrine is a devastating critique of the “free market” policies have come to
dominate the world.
Using “shock therapy” as a metaphor, the film investigates Kleins central
idea of “disaster capitalism.” When countries are jolted by catastrophic
eventssuch as war or natural disasters, they are often subjected to totally
un-regulated “free market” remedies that benefit corporations and elites at

Milton Friedman and the Chicago School economists, through its implementation
over the past 40 years in Pinochets Chile, Yeltsins Russia, Thatchers Britain,
and the American Neo-Con directed invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
