About this listen

In the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich "Puertopians" are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, The New York Times best-selling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation's radical, resilient vision for a just recovery.

Excellent

This is an excellent analogy of disaster capitalism whilst providing insightful and hopeful ways of countering its harms.

Important

A highly important read of a troubled history and a troubling potential future. I can only hope more people take the time and inform themselves.
