Starting From Scratch In Haiti

On today's Planet Money:

Adam and Chana are on the ground in Haiti. And despite the general misery and constant funerals, Adam tells us people there are starting to talk about how to rebuild the country and the economy, maybe in a better way. The world helped rebuild Indonesia after the tsunami, and Rwanda after the genocide. But Haiti's troubles run deep, and have existed for decades.
