This book explores the concept of “disaster capitalism,” where governments and powerful corporations exploit crises to push through controversial and exploitative policies. The author, Jack Canfield, delves into the history of this practice, tracing its roots back to the mid-twentieth century and examining its impact on global politics and economics. He argues that these entities use shock tactics to disorient populations, making it easier to implement policies that would otherwise be met with resistance. From the privatization of Iraq’s economy to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Canfield provides a comprehensive analysis of how disaster capitalism operates and its devastating effects on society. He also offers a critique of neoliberal economic policies, arguing that they exacerbate inequality and social unrest. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between politics, economics, and power, challenging readers to question the systems and structures that govern our world.
