Naomi Klein, author of “The Shock Doctrine”, asks in her TED presentation “What makes our culture so prone to the reckless high-stakes gamble, and why are women so frequently called upon to clean up the mess?”

One thing that comes to mind when I watched this was how President Bush signed an executive order on July 14, 2008, just before the end of his term, to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The moratorium was put in place in 1990 by his father. A year earlier President Bush lifted the moratorium from drilling in Alaska, also put in place by his father.

I thought the risk policy differences, between these two men, would have been at least mentioned.
