La Singularidad Social
Decentralization could seed countries like Peru with prosperity zones. Some Latin American countries are already showing the way.
Pachacu-tech is a Peruvian intellectual concerned about his country’s downward spiral into corruption and centralization. In his new podcast, we discuss potential reforms, some of which have already been realized by his northern neighbors in Honduras.
It’s not like Peru is completely foreign to these ideas. It’s just that perverse incentives have muted and tamped down those good ideas for far too long. Hernando de Soto’s Mystery of Capital should be required reading for anyone who wants peace, freedom, and abundance—especially for the poor.
Pachacu-tech is inspired not only by the great de Soto but by books like Davidson and Rees-Mogg’s The Sovereign Individual, Balaji Srinivasan’s The Network State, and my own The Social Singularity, which is currently being translated into Spanish.
