The book argues that the
free market policies of
Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman have risen to prominence in some countries because they were pushed through while the citizens were reacting to disasters or upheavals. It is implied that some man-made crises, such as the
Falklands war, may have been created with the intention of being able to push through these unpopular reforms in their wake.
begins with a chapter on psychiatric shock therapy and the covert experiments conducted by the psychiatrist
Ewen Cameron in collusion with the
Central Intelligence Agency: how it was partially successful in distorting and regressing patients' original personality, but ineffectual in developing a better personality to replace it. Parallels with economic shock therapy are made, including a digression on how government agencies harnessed some of the lessons learned to create more effective
torture techniques. Torture, according to Klein, has often been an essential tool for authorities who have implemented aggressive free market reforms – this assertion is stressed throughout the book

My definition of the shock doctrine was a handbook. years ago people used electric objects to shock people and put them in child like stages .the idea was to make people vonavreble to follow and depend on leaders to protect them . when people are a a stage of shock and panic its easier to pursue them into things they wouldnt do. now the "shock doctrine" has a new method with electricity. the method that political leaders and those in charge take advantage of crisis for example the tsunami , earth quakes wars . leaders use these terrible incidents to push policies that they would know people that are not in the state of shock would e support or follow . Milton freedman was known for this specific movement . this was also called as a secrete "free market " which was to speak about policies and imply new laws.
