Klein signed a 2004 petition entitled, “We would vote for Hugo Chávez.” In 2007, she described Venezuela under the Chávez government as a country where “citizens had renewed their faith in the power of democracy to improve their lives,” and described Venezuela as a place sheltered by Chávez’s policies from the economic shocks produced by capitalism. Rather, according to Klein, Chávez protected his country from financial crisis by building “a zone of relative economic calm and predictability.” According to reviewer Todd Gitlin, who described the overall argument of Klein’s book The Shock Doctrine (2007) as “more right than wrong,” Klein is “a romantic,” who expected that the Chávez government would produce a bright future in which worker-controlled co- operatives would run the economy. The Shock Doctrine was consistent with her prior thinking about globalization, and in that book she describes Chávez’ policies as an example of public control of some sectors of the economy as protecting poor people from harm caused by globalization. After the collapse of the Venezuelan economy and alleged erosion of its democratic institutions under Chávez’ successor Nicolás Maduro, Klein and other people who had supported Chávez were criticized by writers such as James Kirchick and Mark Milke.
