Topic: Disaster Capitalism

Referencing an article from Mother Jones, the hosts discuss "disaster capitalism" in post-earthquake Haiti. They describe how refugees are being cleared from private land to make way for industrial work zones and business interests, fulfilling predictions made shortly after the January 2010 disaster.

A mysterious "Haiti" graphic appeared for several frames during a CBS broadcast of the Late Show with David Letterman. This occurrence is linked to the $11.4 billion reconstruction plan for Haiti led by UN Special Envoy Bill Clinton, with claims that the disaster is being leveraged for corporate interests and tax-free havens.
