Naomi Klein On The Rise of
Disaster Capitalism
"If the reconstruction industry
is stunningly inept at rebuilding, that may be because
rebuilding is not its primary purpose," writes Naomi Klein
in the cover story of this week's Nation. "If anything, the
stories of corruption and incompetence serve to mask this deeper
scandal: the rise of a predatory form of disaster capitalism
that uses the desperation and fear created by catastrophe to
engage in radical social and economic engineering."
