In the wake of disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the September 11th attacks and the Southeast Asian tsunami, why do so many people and businesses profit while victims and countries continue to struggle? This is one of the many questions raised by Klein, award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist, and international best-selling author of “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism” and “No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies.” Exposing the thinking, money trail and puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, Klein investigates disaster capitalism - the rapid-fire corporate reengineering of societies still reeling from shock - and how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.
