The once accepted notion that Western countries are the safest and most democratic places to live is quickly falling apart. Rising crime, constant protests, and declining trust in institutions are prompting more people to question whether staying in legacy countries is truly worth the cost, especially when it comes with some of the world’s highest tax rates.

In this episode, Mr. Henderson reviews the 2025 Country Crime Index to reveal the safest countries to live in today. He also shares his insights on the real-world livability of these destinations, so you can find a place that offers not just safety, but a better life overall.
