We speak with NYU professor Greg Grandin about his new book, Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Fords Forgotten Jungle City. The book tells the story of Henry Ford, the richest man in the world in the 1920s, and his attempt to build a rubber plantation and a miniature Midwest factory town deep in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon.
how the fuck can they get away with building something in the Amazon forest then just discard it ? fucking atrocious behaviour. They should have been made to get rid of every plank, nail and screw
man is a pitiful beast
