Mark Lutter (@MarkLutter) is the founder and Executive Director of the Charter Cities Institute (@CCIdotCity), a nonprofit whose mission is to lift tens of millions of individuals out of poverty by building new cities with new rules. 

In this episode, we discussed the CCI’s unique model for city development, why state capacity is in decline, the historical examples of Hong Kong, Dubai & Chicago, how network states differ from charter cities, and the recent Nobel prize awarded for the study of institutions and prosperity.
