Brainstorm - How Shantytowns Become Real Cities - FORTUNE
Here's my latest piece on squatters, from Fortune Magazine, pointing out the energy and entrepreneurial spirit in the world's shantytowns. Check out the print version for a bunch of my photos of the communities I lived in.
--news from Robert Neuwirth--
I recently (January 2020) signed a contract with Beacon Press for a new book of reportage on the economics of community.
I'm also working on a collection of short stories about economics called The Book of Derivatives.
Backstory: I've written two previous books: Stealth of Nations (on the global growth of the informal economy) & Shadow Cities (on the global growth of squatter communities).
I live in New York City and do most of my writing on manual typewriters.
