Rising From the Wreckage: Personal Responsibility Vs. Social Welfare in Tornado Recovery
This paper explores the competing consumption ideologies of personal responsibility and social welfare and shows how these constructs are not on opposite ends of a continuum, but instead, are multi-faceted and domain specific. This theoretical argument extends beyond the specific empirical context we explore here, namely rural community recovery after a tornado. The theory developed here illuminates competing consumption ideologies and describes how the nature of a market mediates the disaster recovery process.
