Klein, Naomi
Bio: (1970-) Canadian journalist and political theorist. Naomi Klein studied at the University of Toronto, but never finished her studies. She is one of the most famous critics of corporate globalization. In No Logo (1999), Klein studies the business of global corporate brands, production conditions, marketing tactics, and the ideology of consumerism. In The Shock Doctrine (2007), she points out that major social upheavals, such as natural disasters or military coups, serve as a basis and excuse for neoliberal ideologues, corporations, and political powerbrokers to put neoliberal ideas into practice.
