Sound and Fury: Rhetoric and Rebound after Katrina

Art Carden
Rhodes College


December 6, 2007


Abstract:     
Free markets in capital and labor are essential to rapid recovery from natural disaster. Political and rhetorical responses to Hurricane Katrina included denunciation of price gougers in the market for gasoline; the arbitrariness associated with anti-price gouging legislation may create uncertainty that reduces the attractiveness of the investment climate.

Keywords: Katrina, disaster, weather, rhetoric, political economy
