The Shock Doctrine – The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

“Klein is a sharp cultural critic and flawless storyteller. Her analysis is thorough and thoroughly engaging.” Newsweek.com

The award-winning author of the best-seller No Logo, Naomi Klein coined the term “disaster capitalism” to describe the economic exploitation of communities who, still reeling from catastrophe, lose their land to aggressive corporate makeovers. In her new book, The Shock Doctrine, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for 50 years.

Presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures and the UCSB Women’s Center as part of the 9th Annual Santa Barbara Book & Author Festival, September 28-29.
