Cultural and Political Economy of Recovery
Social Learning in a post-disaster environment
«
'Emily Chamlee Wright has made a major contribution to understanding the response to Hurricane Katrina. Her book is a case study of the importance of spontaneously-evolved institutions in solving post-disaster collective action problems. She shows that micro social networks are often more important for recovery than large government programs.'
- Mario J. Rizzo, New York University, USA
'In her pioneering work Chamlee-Wright has used a natural experiment in governmental failure to show that an economy is more than a machine to be run by our masters. It is a social order, "embedded," as the sociologists say, in ethics. She shows that such fully human actors are creative, as a Samuelsonian Max U-er is not. We are all entrepreneurs, big or small. The fact requires an empirical yet Austrian economics, of which Chamlee-Wright's book is a sterling example'.
- Deirdre McCloskey, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.
'F. A. Hayek famously eschewed the term economy for its constructivist connotations. Emily Chamlee-Wright profitably reclaims it, recasting economy as a plurality of self-organizing processes, civic and cultural as well as commercial. As a work of theory and as an ethnographic investigation of post-Katrina recovery, Chamlee-Wright’s book is a bold act of intellectual entrepreneurship – signaling the explanatory possibilities of a scientifically serious hermeneutic economics.'
- Robert Garnett, Texas Christian University, USA.

This title addresses this question in the context of civil society generally, in which we cannot always rely on market prices to guide our way. Les mer
