Capitalizing on Disaster?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
Naomi Klein discusses her new book “The Shock Doctrine,” a theory on how right-wing politicians exploit disasters like Katrina and 9/11 to further conservative economic policies. Also, we get reaction to Hillary Clinton’s health care speech, get an update on Brooklyn's Surrogate Court Judge elections today, look at what Hurricane Katrina can teach us about race and class, and find out where our listeners discuss politics.
