The Shock Doctrine内容简介

The bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global free market has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to IraqIn her groundbreaking reporting over the past few years, Naomi Klein introduced the term disaster capitalism. Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic shock treatment, losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers.The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman s free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement s peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq.At the core of disaster capit

热门摘录

The workers' strike was an unprecedented show of defiance against the Moscow-controlled government, which had ruled Poland for thirty-five years.

关于Naomi Klein

時尚/LV;運動/Nike;電腦/IBM……,眼下我們生存的時代,品牌形象代表一切,連小學生也懂得要用名牌。要表現自己的專業、品味、社經地位,就要消費特定的產品,不管你是否真喜歡其品質。獲得消費者的品牌認同,就等於獲利的保證,於是新創的品牌虎視眈眈,欲取市場第一品牌之位而代之。至於沒有顯赫招牌的產品,往往價美物廉還是乏人問津。知名品牌挾著雄厚的資本、強勢的行銷能力、全球運籌(global logistics)的經營觀念,令其產品席捲全世界。一種產品行銷全球,創造了後現代的國際風格,統一了世人的消費觀,卻斲傷了異文化的豐富性。全球性的公司聲稱要支持文化的多樣性,其實他們所謂的「多元文化主義」只是生產更多的產品,讓消費者有較多的購買選擇。而在知名品牌風光行銷全球的背後,是許多不為人注意的勞工。他們其中的大多數人無法分享公司的鉅額利潤。當某位大老闆被問到,他付出的薪水是否足以讓員工「維持生活」時,他答道:「這想法聽起來很好,但沒考慮到商業世界的現實狀況。」這些員工只能慶幸自己不是第三世界裡被剝削的女工,做一雙天價的Nike球鞋或一件時尚必須的產品只能賺到幾毛錢。事實是,消費文化全球化所裨益的對象,侷限在資本家、中心國家,卻造成社會與社會間經濟實力的落差日漸加大,更使得文化的創造力漸趨枯竭。所幸,反動之勢已逐漸醞釀。人們注意到工廠裡被剝削的勞工,也擔憂非主流文化正逐漸消失,因而積極採取反制行動。全球化浪潮在二十世紀末淹沒世界,勢不可擋,但反全球化的能量在新世紀初正蓄勢反撲。本書作者Naomi Klein被《泰晤士報》譽為「可能是三十五歲以下對世界最據影響力的人士」,她在《No Logo》一書中剖析知名品牌如何征服世界,對此現象提出深刻反思,也分析反全球化的風潮將如何反撲。本書在國外廣受書評家與讀者好評,為身陷品牌意識泥淖的現代人不容錯過的好書。
