When the earthquake hit Haiti last January, that country's history of poor government was largely responsible for the extent of the devastation and inability to deal with the aftermath. Lax building codes were only one ingredient in the stew. My podcast, "Haiti: A Patient with Hope," provides an update about current recovery efforts in Haiti, and some insight as to why progress has been so slow.
I hope you find my essay informative.
