Penguin presents the audiobook model of The Surprise Doctrine by Naomi Klein, read by Katherine Fenton.

All over the world in Britain, america, Asia and the Middle East, you will find people who have power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their picture. They are the shock doctors.

Revealing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein uncovered information and connections that stunned even her about how comprehensively the surprise general practitioners’ beliefs now dominate the world – and exactly how this domination has been accomplished. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq – this is actually the chilling story of what sort of few are making a killing while more are getting killed.
