E298. Erick Brimen Has A Plan To End Poverty

Entrepreneur and CEO of Prospera, Erick Brimen, sits down with Bridget to discuss his plan for ending poverty. They discuss what makes a country wealthy vs. poor, the role of government, the difference between government and governance, the conditions which are necessary for human beings to flourish, creating the conditions for prosperity, and how the creation of wealth and prosperity is the only solution to ending poverty because you can’t simply eradicate a negative. He lays out how the specialized economic zones he’s creating work, how the cities operate, how to regulate without stifling growth, the major criticisms that have been leveled at the project, the 100 to 200 trillion dollars of wealth that goes unrealized every year due to poor governance, and what we can do better worldwide in creating the conditions where people can flourish.
