Thanks to username Informative Millennial.

Honestly, not a bad nickname for you, Jeff, who wrote this on Apple Podcasts.

This podcast always teaches me something informative about economics, society, history, and culture in every episode.

So nice.

Aww.

Reviews like that could really help new listeners pick us out from the giant pool of podcasts they could be listening to.

So please consider leaving a review yourself.

Special thanks today to Mike Jacobs, Mike Hogan, Laura Ehrenschild, and Abe Silverman.

A few weeks ago, Faval Williams drove across Jamaica to the west side of the island to see the damage with her own eyes.

She was headed to where the worst hurricane in her country's history had made landfall.

And Fayval, she is the government.

She's actually Jamaica's minister of finance.

So she knew that Jamaica had been preparing for exactly this kind of catastrophe.

preparing so that the country could pay to rebuild the roads, to rebuild people's homes.

And to do that, Jamaica had some financial tricks up its sleeve.
