Powerful and truly shocking book. Comprehensive content, narration that flows at the right pace, and almost academically written with a plethora of reliable references (bibliography of about 100 pages)

"The 'Shock Doctrine' contains almost all logical fallacies that can be answered in the development of arguments: it perceives as given various things that are neither common knowledge nor proven or documented, nor does it happen within the book, it responds to the arguments of prominent economists (Nobel laureates) through direct personal attacks (ad hominem), it often resorts to false dilemmas, the fallacy of extremes, oversimplifications, and wishful thinking. Reading it, I conclude that its material and objectives surpass it, that it lacks the tools and background to accomplish the mission of this book.

Naomi Klein sees and hears selectively, ignoring the bigger picture, the reality of the world as a dynamic system, the complex relationships between causes and effects. And in order to reach the desired conclusions, she conducts interviews with anonymous sources, draws information from shady sources, and relies on rumors and suspicions.

The commercial success of the book is due to manipulative emotionalism (such as that of Michael Moore), to that kind of simplistic journalism of destruction that removes individual responsibility from people and then laments about how powerless they are in the face of power.

It can be read, at best, as a conspiracy novel and, at worst, as a rant."

Unique, exceptional book! A product of research, without myths and assumptions! A punch in the stomach of the IMF, the World Bank, and the theories of the Chicago School! I wish the oppressed people of the world and the world itself had the opportunity to read it in its entirety, then things would change!
