After the demolition of five squatter shanties not far from Talisay City in the Philippines, nails were strewn across a local highway, disabling 15 cars, The Freeman reports. The newspaper doesn't know if it's the work of disgruntled squatters.
--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.
