The Economics of Disaster (Encore)
b'
A lot happened in 2017, and we\\u2019re returning to one particular natural disaster that changed Puerto Rico from top to bottom. As communities on the island have recovered, there\\u2019s a trail of money to follow behind it all. This week, we are revisiting this hourlong special on the economics of disaster. We head to Puerto Rico to examine life on the ground following Hurricane Maria. We look at the debt situation, the realities of life when the lights stay out and what\\xa0it takes to bring power back. Plus,\\xa0Puerto Rico’s dairy farmers and a surprising boom in renewable energy. Also, recovery in Texas and how Florida is handling an influx of Puerto Ricans fleeing the damage from Hurricane Maria.
