# Johan Norberg discusses The Shock Doctrine. 

Naomi Klein’s *The Shock Doctrine* purports to be an exposé of the ruthless nature of free-market capitalism and its chief recent exponent, Milton Friedman. Johan Norberg, a Cato Institute Senior Fellow points out that many of the actions for which Klein would like to credit Friedman … Friedman actually opposed. Norberg dissects the Shock Doctrine in his new paper, “[The Klein Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Polemics](https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9384).”
