We explained the principles of the prosperity paradox in Part 1. In Part 2 we visited the ideas of corruption, governance and infrastructure (the previous two episodes). But so far we haven't criticised the book, and that's what we're doing in Part 3.

Is it reasonable to suggest market creating innovations as an alternative to digging wells in Nigeria? What are the other factors that helped South Korea go from receiving development aid to giving aid to other countries? And can we really talk about the USA as a prosperous country?

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