Yes; I have occasionally tried building it early on, in order to benefit from it for longer, but I've rarely been particularly successful. (I've managed not to lose, but I don't recall winning with this strategy.) The problem is really that you can either be building something that will get you money and/or shipping points (e.g. factory, harbour, coffee roaster, etc.), which are far more valuable in game terms than people.
