Moyers & Company. Hurricanes and Democracy
Description
Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the East Coast, but Naomi Klein says that the tragic destruction can also be the catalyst for the transformation of politics and our economy. In this edition of Moyers & Company, the author of the international bestseller The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism joins Bill to discuss hurricanes, climate change, and democracy.

"Let's rebuild by actually getting at the root causes," Klein tells Bill. "You know, dream big.
