I received an eARC for this book from NetGalley for an honest review. If you want to understand the finer details of why private equity is so intent on destroying our communities, this will be illuminating. It will also inspire you to action, as you watch a retail employee, doctor, journalist, and tenant fight back, via advocacy toward pension funds and establishing community hospitals. The media landscape, unfortunately seemed like the most dismal story, and the author made the excellent point that even though it is a public good, journalism is often not provided the funding it needs to remain independent and community-centered.

very informative and easy to read but the structure of the book was not ideal for me. i would have preferred to read the before, during, and after of each person all together rather than the before of each person, then the during of each, then the after of each. it made it hard to stay invested in their stories and remember details when there were 3 other chapters in between
