Reality of Dreams - Post-Neoliberal Utopias in the Ecuadorian Amazon

What is the fate of utopian fantasies under conditions of global capitalism? From 2007 to 2017, the Citizen's Revolution launched a series of post-neoliberal megaprojects to liberate Ecuador from dependence on Amazonian oil reserves. This book documents the heroic scale of this endeavor and the farcical extent of its failure.
