I read it about 10 years ago, one of her grievances was that Nelson Mandela didn’t take all the land and assets of the white South Africans after apartheid.

Why would I want to not criticize neoliberalism?

The Shock Doctrine’s primary thesis is that countries which have encountered severe crises are deliberately robbed of their wealth by a globalist machinery
Naomi Klein and others like her are ideologues whose whole idea of reality forced them to ignore real data pointing to increases in wealth and standards of living in globalized economies
Furthermore, she and others like her fail to recognize that globalization is necessary for many of these countries to rebuild
Globalization ensures that crisis recovery is much faster than mere domestic liberalization, which can only do so much in any event
(I’m using globalization in the same way they do, shorthand for economies opening themselves up on the international markets, paired with domestic liberalization that allows for the freer flow of capital between international economies.)
