I think that the book, The Shock Doctrine, has a high chance of being treated sort of conspiracy theory. The book is really shocking, exceptionally engaging, eye-opening, and mind-boggling in a way. The book shows a harrowing and murky picture of the U.S. (further accelerated by the Bush administration's self-proclaimed "War on Terrorism" since September 11) influences over the world's economies through depicting "real" examples in South Korea, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Latin America (the Caribbean), and still staggering Iraq. The book reveals the many painful wounds that "disaster capitalism" has caused to the body politic both in developing and developed countries and the U.S. (the hurricane Katrina of 2005 that caused the most severe loss of life and property damage in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.) as well for the last two decades. At the end of the day, the book is sort of an eye-catching and breath-taking success in debunking the treacherous side of so-called "disaster capitalism." I’d like to rate the book is highly worth of reading and recommending.

Bt the way, the author, Naomi Klein, and her team seem very resourceful and well informed of the progress related to the development of "shock therapy" that is originated from a journalism concoction of Milton Friedman's and his sycophants’ remedies to catastrophic events for the past half a century.

In addition, equally recommended are the two books, "Bad Samaritans - The Guilty Secrets of Rich Nations and the Threat to Global Prosperity" by Ha-Joon Chang and "The end of poverty" by Jeffrey Sachs for readers to take hold on a balanced point of view of economic development.
