abstract="The inadequacy of response to the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina should not be attributed to &quot;bureaucracy.&quot; Real bureaucracies, as opposed to idealized Weberian models of them, often deal effectively with changing or even unique circumstance. The failure was not in a mode of social organization but in the perverse priorities, inflected with racism, that allowed &quot;work to rule&quot; as default practice. Given the situation at hand, this was pathological bureaucracy, not normal bureaucracy.<p />",
