The Shock Doctrine

New Orleans, post-Katrina, is a metaphor for an American-style "New World Order" with unfettered capitalism unleashed in its most savage form. Klein quotes Republican Congressman Richard Baker telling lobbyists, "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it but God did." And New Orleans developer Joseph Canizaro added, "I think we have a clean sheet to start again (and take advantage of) big opportunities."
