In the wake of a natural disaster, the process of recovery goes beyond rebuilding physical infrastructure. It also involves addressing the cultural and political economy of the affected community. In the book “The Cultural and Political Economy of Recovery: Social Learning in a post-disaster environment,” authors delve into the complexities of recovery efforts in a heterodox economic framework.

Drawing on case studies from various disaster-stricken regions, the book explores how social learning plays a crucial role in shaping recovery outcomes. From grassroots initiatives to government policies, the interactions between different stakeholders are examined to understand the dynamics of post-disaster recovery.

By challenging traditional economic theories and emphasizing the importance of cultural and political factors, this book offers a fresh perspective on how communities can effectively rebuild and thrive after a disaster. It is a must-read for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the nuances of recovery in a post-disaster environment.
