“The Human Shock Doctrine hits Puerto Rico” w/ Naomi Klein and Jamil Smith

“The Human Shock Doctrine hits Puerto Rico” w/ Naomi Klein and Jamil Smith

With a friend like the United States, does Puerto Rico need enemies? Naomi Klein (@NaomiAKlein) stops by to discuss how the U.S. government created the preconditions for the island’s unnatural (very much man-made) disaster. And Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) helps answer a listener question about an awkward conversation at the office. Bonus mini-essay for listeners that make it all the way to the end.
