The Big Truck That Went By — Why Aid Failed Haiti
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Jonathan M. Katz
This episode explores The Big Truck That Went By by Jonathan M. Katz as a systems-level analysis of how international aid, donor politics, media narratives, and institutional self-protection influenced Haiti’s recovery after the 2010 earthquake.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
