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.

On the other hand I can’t believe they chose someone who spoke no Spanish to narrate this text that has so many Spanish names. As a native Spanish speaker trying to understand what she was saying was super hard.

One criticism - why didn’t they have someone who speaks English AND Spanish record the book?!?! It was really frustrating listening to towns, cities and names being anglicized. How hard could it be to find someone who could have read this properly?
Powerful and informative

I think that it is important that Americans read this book. We need to understand the damage of the abuse and neglect that PR has suffered while under colonial rule.
A needed read for any American
