We explained the principles of the prosperity paradox in Part 1 (the previous episode).

In Part 2 we covered: corruption, good laws and infrastructure. Which one of these three pillars is necessary to achieve prosperity? How did South Korea go from a country where gangs pocketed protection money to suing the president and jailing her over corruption charges? What made it possible for a company in Nigeria to build better infrastructure faster than the government? and why can't Tunisia prosper despite a brand new constitution?

All this and more is discussed by the show hosts: Hajer ben Charrada, Amin Zayani and our guest Mehdi Fekari.
