Plundering the Poor After Natural Disasters
The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 7, 2015
John C. Mutter discusses how natural disasters allow the elite to prosper at the expense of the poor. In The Disaster Profiteers: How Natural Disasters Make the Rich Richer and the Poor Even Poorer, Mutter looks at what happens after the media has lost interest, the last volunteer has handed out a final blanket, and people are left to repair their lives, from Myanmar to New Orleans.
