For those who find this interesting, Fordlandia is a book about Henry Ford's attempt to create a utopia in Brazil for employees sourcing rubber from plantations. Spoiler: it's a bit of a disaster. That said, a lot of its failings are due to the specifics of the location and lack of local knowledge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordl%C3%A2ndia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordl%C3%A2ndia
