The Culture of Disaster: How Crisis Defines America
Nietzsche once said, “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” Or does it?
Naomi Klein (The Shock Doctrine),
Kurt Andersen (Reset),
Jordan Flaherty (Floodlines) and
Paul Reyes (Exiles in Eden) look at issues such as Katrina, the economic collapse, and the war abroad and consider whether they in fact make us stronger as a society, or more vulnerable.
