An introduction to "disaster capitalism" argues that the global free market has exploited crises, violence, and shock in the past three decades to promote radical privatization that benefits large corporations and powerful interest groups.
The book about how we let it get this bad. In a strange way, this book feels shallow because of its ambitious scope, but if you want a proper overview of horrific shit that you need to understand to get the current moment, this is probably the place to start unearthing the contents of the memory hole.
Relentlessly bleak, very well written.
I have to say that the whole bit at the start with the chapter just on the history of torture felt unrelated to the rest of the book, except to change what people might have thought of shock therapy.
Leer este libro en el periodo de aislamiento de la pandemia fue toda una experiencia de conspiración. Hubo demasiadas coincidencias que pondrían a un consipirador nervioso. En todo caso, la calidad de datos históricos y la posibilidad de entender el modelo económico chileno, hizo que este libro valiera la pena.
