Before Naomi Klein wrote Shock Doctrine, there was Economic Shock Therapy:

Shock therapy traces its roots from the economic liberalization program undertaken by post-war West Germany in the late 1940s. During 1947 and 1948, price controls and government support were withdrawn over a very short period. These reforms had the effect of kick starting the West German economy resulting in the Wirtschaftswunder. Germany had previously had a highly authoritarian and economic interventionist fascist government; overnight, shock therapy seemed to throw off these restrictions and allow Germany to rapidly become a developed market economy.
