Ep. 141 Fordlandia
Hello Wanderers!
Are you ready to take a trip to the Amazon?? I hope so, cause that's where we're going!
What happens when a British guy steals a bunch of rubber tree saplings, plants them in Europe, and creates a monopoly on the majority of the planet's rubber supply?
Well, a multi-millionaire from the auto industry decides to create a midwestern city in the middle of Brazil to grow his own rubber trees. That's what happens!
So grab a snack, a supply of Quinine, and join us on another Foolish adventure!
