Natural disasters don't matter for the reasons we think they do. They generally don't kill a huge number of people. Most years more people kill themselves than are killed by Nature's tantrums. And using standard measures like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) it is difficult to show that disasters significantly interrupt the economy. It's what happens after the disasters that really matters-when the media has lost interest and the last volunteer has handed out a final blanket, and people are left to repair their lives. What happens is a stark expression of how unjustly unequal our world has become. The elite make out well-whether they belong to an open market capitalist democracy or a closed authoritarian socialist state. In Myanmar-a country ruled by a xenophobic military junta-the generals and their cronies declared areas where rice farms were destroyed by Cyclone Nargis as blighted and simply took the land. In New Orleans the city was re-shaped and gentrified post Katrina, making it almost impossible for many of its poorest, mostly black citizens to return. In The Disaster Profiteers, John Mutter argues that when no one is looking, disasters become a means by which the elite prosper at the expense of the poor. As the specter of increasingly frequent and destructive natural disasters looms in our future, this book will ignite an essential conversation about what we can do now to create a safer, more just world for us all.

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will learn that one of the consequences of natural disasters is to make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer. You will also learn that : the Burmese military junta used Cyclone Nargis to consolidate its power; most of the victims of Hurricane Katrina were black, poor and elderly; new Orleans is the second most unequal city in the United States; we often overreact emotionally to natural disasters; the 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince almost entirely spared the wealthy neighborhoods; social sciences are crucial to understanding and putting into perspective the consequences of natural disasters. The author of "Disasters Profiteers", John C. Mutter, is a seismologist and professor at Columbia University in New York. He therefore speaks with full knowledge of the facts when he talks about natural disasters. In his book, he discusses the social consequences of natural disasters. He studies how cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, tsunamis and other earthquakes contribute to deepening inequalities, allowing a small fraction of the population, whom he calls "profiteers", to take advantage of these calamities to consolidate their power and wealth. A healthy work, which makes us look at natural disasters in an entirely new light. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

O senhor saberá também que : a junta militar birmanesa usou o ciclone Nargis para consolidar seu poder; a maioria das vítimas do furacão Katrina eram negras, pobres e idosas; Nova Orleans é a segunda cidade mais desigual dos Estados Unidos; muitas vezes reagimos de forma exagerada emocionalmente a desastres naturais; o terremoto de 2010 em Port-au-Prince poupou quase inteiramente os bairros ricos; as ciências sociais são cruciais para compreender e colocar em perspectiva as conseqüências dos desastres naturais.

Um trabalho saudável, que nos faz olhar para os desastres naturais sob uma luz totalmente nova.

Leggendo questo riassunto, imparerete che una delle conseguenze dei disastri naturali è quella di rendere i ricchi ancora più ricchi e i poveri ancora più poveri. Imparerete anche che : la giunta militare birmana ha usato il ciclone Nargis per consolidare il proprio potere; la maggior parte delle vittime dell'uragano Katrina erano neri, poveri e anziani; New Orleans è la seconda città più diseguale degli Stati Uniti; spesso reagiamo in modo emotivo ai disastri naturali; il terremoto del 2010 a Port-au-Prince ha risparmiato quasi completamente i quartieri ricchi; le scienze sociali sono fondamentali per comprendere e mettere in prospettiva le conseguenze dei disastri naturali. L'autore di "Disasters Profiteers", John C. Mutter, è sismologo e professore alla Columbia University di New York. Parla quindi con cognizione di causa quando parla di disastri naturali. Nel suo libro discute le conseguenze sociali dei disastri naturali. Studia come cicloni, tifoni, uragani, tsunami e altri terremoti contribuiscano ad approfondire le disuguaglianze, permettendo a una piccola frazione della popolazione, che lui chiama "profittatori", di approfittare di queste calamità per consolidare il proprio potere e la propria ricchezza. Un'opera salutare, che ci fa guardare ai disastri naturali sotto una luce completamente nuova.

Bei der Lektüre dieser Zusammenfassung werden Sie erfahren, dass eine der Folgen von Naturkatastrophen darin besteht, dass sie die Reichen noch reicher und die Armen noch ärmer machen. Sie werden auch erfahren, dass : die birmanische Militärjunta den Zyklon Nargis nutzte, um ihre Macht zu festigen; die meisten Opfer des Hurrikans Katrina schwarz, arm und alt waren; New Orleans die Stadt mit der zweitgrößten Ungleichheit in den Vereinigten Staaten ist; wir reagieren oft emotional überreagiert auf Naturkatastrophen; das Erdbeben von 2010 in Port-au-Prince verschonte die wohlhabenden Stadtteile fast vollständig; die Sozialwissenschaften sind entscheidend, um die Folgen von Naturkatastrophen zu verstehen und zu relativieren. Der Autor von "Disasters Profiteers", John C. Mutter, ist Seismologe und Professor an der Columbia University in New York. Er spricht also in voller Kenntnis der Sachlage, wenn er über Naturkatastrophen spricht. In seinem Buch erörtert er die sozialen Folgen von Naturkatastrophen. Er untersucht, wie Wirbelstürme, Taifune, Hurrikane, Tsunamis und andere Erdbeben zur Vertiefung der Ungleichheiten beitragen und es einem kleinen Teil der Bevölkerung, den er "Profiteure" nennt, ermöglichen, diese Katastrophen zur Festigung ihrer Macht und ihres Reichtums auszunutzen. Ein gesundes Werk, das uns dazu bringt, Naturkatastrophen in einem völlig neuen Licht zu betrachten.

Als je deze samenvatting leest, zul je leren dat een van de gevolgen van natuurrampen is dat de rijken nog rijker worden en de armen nog armer. Je zult ook leren dat : de Birmese militaire junta de cycloon Nargis gebruikte om haar macht te consolideren; de meeste slachtoffers van orkaan Katrina zwart, arm en bejaard waren; New Orleans de op één na meest ongelijke stad van de Verenigde Staten is; We reageren vaak emotioneel te heftig op natuurrampen; De aardbeving van 2010 in Port-au-Prince heeft de rijke wijken bijna volledig gespaard; Sociale wetenschappen zijn cruciaal om de gevolgen van natuurrampen te begrijpen en in perspectief te plaatsen. De auteur van "Rampen Profiteurs", John C. Mutter, is seismoloog en professor aan Columbia University in New York. Hij spreekt daarom met kennis van zaken als hij het over natuurrampen heeft. In zijn boek bespreekt hij de sociale gevolgen van natuurrampen. Hij bestudeert hoe cyclonen, tyfoons, orkanen, tsunami's en andere aardbevingen bijdragen aan het verdiepen van de ongelijkheid, waardoor een klein deel van de bevolking, die hij "profiteurs" noemt, van deze calamiteiten kan profiteren om hun macht en rijkdom te consolideren. Een gezond werk, dat ons in een heel nieuw licht doet kijken naar natuurrampen.

'Impassioned, hugely informative, wonderfully controversial, and scary as hell' John le Carré Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors. Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors' beliefs now dominate our world - and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed. 'Packed with thinking dynamite ... a book to be read everywhere' John Berger 'If you only read one non-fiction book this year, make it this one' Metro Books of the Year 'There are a few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books' John Gray, Guardian 'A brilliant book written with a perfectly distilled anger, channelled through hard fact. She has indeed surpassed No Logo' Independent
