Below is a link to my LJ account where I've posted my own (short) analysis of the effects that Katrina and the destruction of the big easy will have on the US economy.
It is NOT a solution presenting idea, or a story setup meant to individualize the tradgedy that has occured. Many people have done such things and they can do it better than I would.
This is simply an analysis of what we in the US as a whole should expect to happen economically. I do not present any solutions, just put forth likely outcomes. I don't have the answers for what to do in this disaster, I just think people should be aware of the full extent of what has happened, and what will.

An extremelly LARGE majority of my posts in that LJ account are blocked from public view. If there's enough response, I'll start adding other stuff into there from my other work pages, and making more posts available for public eye (there simply hasn't been a reason to do so thus far). So feel free to bookmark if you want to.
edit: FYI, this is a very short analysis. More of an outline really. If you'd like to discuss this or other topics, feel free to contact me and do so. I'll be submitting a full 30 page work on this topic next month for my econ class, so I'll still be reasearching it, and of course other issues, as time goes on.
edit2: In response to a really fast pm..yes, I know not all the sections have equal amounts of info, despite that they are all equally important. I know a lot more about the energy market due to my own involvment and research in that area for the last several years (California energy crisis anyone?). I'm working more on the agriculural end as its a bit tougher to adequetly get infor for me right now.
