The Battle for Paradise: Puerto Rico Takes on the Disaster Capitalists by Naomi Klein

hopeful informative sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This was a quick read/listen about disaster capitalism and community care in Puerto Rico following the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Klein's writing is straightforward and incisive. I appreciated this book for highlighting how Puerto Ricans came together to help save themselves when government abandoned and failed them (and continues to abandon and fail them). Puerto Rico deserves more than to be sold for parts to the highest bidders.
