description Reed revisits the devastations brought by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005 and discusses Ray Nagin administration's response prior and after the tragedy. He argues that the fetish of "efficient" government--code for public policy that is designed to serve the narrow interests of business and the affluent--is the ultimate cause of the city's devastation. The notion that government services are wasteful and unnecessary--the neoliberal idolatry that the market can take care of everything that needs to be taken care of--got exposed for the flim-flam that it is.
