When Henry Ford Tried to Build a City in the Amazon - Past Gas #12

Описание: In the early 1900s, Henry Ford devised a plan: buy a swath of Amazonian rainforest, build the ultimate utopian factory, and grow some rubber, basically a rubber plantation. Unfortunately, that would be a lot easier said than done. Join James and Nolan as they recount the wild and ill-fated story of Fordlandia.
