Seriousness about Economic Freedom

Dr. Jordan B Peterson and Magatte Wade discuss how economic freedom dictates the success potential of countries, and how Africa’s fixation on colonialism being the cause of their modern-day struggles, rather than bureaucratic red tape, is what’s locking the continent into abject poverty.

Magatte Wade is an entrepreneur for change, having focused her efforts first on raising awareness and capital with her lip balm company, Skin is Skin. She would then become a TED Global Africa Fellow, giving lectures with the aim of changing the course of Africa’s history, and giving the rich continent a brighter future based on the free market.

As a Korean, our current capitals and success is the fruits of our older generation’s sacrifice to my country. Korea was under Japanese rule for 35 years, from 1910 to 1945, then it had a civil war between the North and South for three years (1950 to 1953). By 1953, South Korea were amongst the poorest countries in the world. South Korea was able to succeed compared to other similar countries with colonial past. Which, shows that it is not their colonial past to blame for their struggling economy.
