He tardado unos 6 meses en leer este libro, mayoritariamente en el metro y ratos libres, nunca antes de ir a dormir porque quería interiorizar y entender todo lo que cuenta Naomi Klein en este ensayo. Recomendable leerlo con pausas, puesto que hay capítulos con hechos que te hacen caer en el pesimismo y la impotencia, sobre todo si lo enlazas con la realidad actual. Naomi analiza en los diferentes capítulos la influencia de la doctrina de la Escuela de Chicago y la utilización de la doctrina del shock para imponer políticas corporativistas de austeridad disfrazadas del aura democrática y libre que pretendían darle sus defensores. El libro está ampliamente documentado, su bibliografía ocupa más del 10% del libro, ya que he podido acceder fácilmente a más información sobre algunos temas a través de las citas. Pese a que la autora finaliza este libro (año 2007) con esperanzas de reversión de la influencia de la doctrina del shock en los próximos años y su utilización por parte de los poderes económicos, me entristece ver como la doctrina sigue más candente que nunca.

Capitalism at the scene of the crime, yet again. What a shock 🙄
Insightful and infuriating to read how again and again the world over, capitalists, big corporations, and politicians have used (manipulated) disasters and crises, whether man-made or natural, to push free market economic policies. These policies only ever go on to further enrich the already mega rich, and push the poor into further suffering.
The parallels drawn between the use of electroshock therapy, among other torture techniques, on individuals, and the use of shock on populations after disaster, was incredibly poignant, and really stuck with me throughout.
Thoroughly recommend.
(p.s. I hope Milton Friedman is rotting in hell painfully, along with all his buddies)
