The award-winning journalist and author describes the reactionary economics of what she terms "Disaster Capitalism", a method which the capitalist powers use to take advantage of human catastrophes. Whether it be the war in Iraq, South American coups or the flooding in New Orleans, our governments and corporations use this kind of situation to bring in laws which would not have been ordinarily passed, making plenty of profit in the process. This is the theory which Naomi sets out in her ground-breaking book called The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Naomi is also the author of No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, has co-produced The Take documentary with Avi Lewis, and writes for the New York Times, The Nation and The Guardian.
