Review of The Shock Doctrine (2009) by Stephen C — 11 Feb 2011
Milton Freidman was a man who in life was given the noble peace prize ,after you see this doc ,you wonder why he wasnt taken out and shot for bringing in shock capitalism and ruining the lives of millions of people around the globe.
The so called Chicago boys were allowed to carry out thier fiscal experiments first on Latin American dictatorships causing millons to disapearand others to fall into crushing poverty.
When Thatcher and Reagan picked up the doctrine they caused hundreds to lose jobs and create a new super rich while widening the poverty gap.
Naomi Kein shows how all these factors are now in play in the world today and how following the events of 2008 a major backlash is in place.
The film opens your eyes to this terrible way of doing business and presses home how the people can change things.
A vital piece of documentary cinema.
