Over a two-year period, author Sana Loue and her research team followed the lives of fifty-three Puerto Rican women living with severe mental illness as they coped with daily challenges in the areas of family, romantic relationships, employment, social services, substance use, and health care. The team interviewed the women and shadowed them at their homes, churches, schools, physicians' offices, family events, and other occasions in order to understand how their mental illness, their gender, their language, and their culture affected their relationships with others, their understandings of their own situations, and their hopes for themselves and their families. Sana Loue lets us see the remarkable strength of many of the women and hear in their own words about their efforts to survive, despite long histories of childhood physical and sexual abuse, partner violence, substance use, poverty, and severe mental illness. We also witness the violence that surrounds them and the HIV risk that becomes a part of their lives in their efforts to survive economically and emotionally.

Parece imposible que esto ocurra, quien lo escuche creerá que estoy loca, no me van a entender, solo por su propia experiencia podrán comprobar que nos les digo mentiras, que no los engaño. Todo lo que hacemos tiene efectos que no se ven ni se sienten pero existen, son tan reales como tocarme la cara, mirar el cielo, escuchar tu voz, pensar, sentir, caminar...hechos que afectan tu vida, tu entorno, a los que están a tu lado de una u otra manera. Esas cosas, actitudes, decisiones y pensamientos de lo cotidiano trascienden a lo sobrenatural, a lo desconocido a lo inimaginable a lo impensable. Todo lo que nos ha pasado en tan corto tiempo, lo que hemos vivido es una locura inesperada, insos...

'One of the most influential economists in the world' Wired Even before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the 'moonshot' programmes which successfully co-ordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time. We must, she argues, rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and above all recover a sense of public purpose. Mission Economy, whose ideas are already being adopted around the world, offers a way out of our impasse to a more optimistic future.
