Reinventing Governance

In the developing world, entrepreneurship and innovation begin with reinventing institutions.

At a time when Western developed nations are starting to turn away from inadequate membranics—i. e. greater scrutiny of migration patterns—there must be a renewed emphasis on the institutional dynamics of development.

Jean Hansen

, a brilliant Brazillian entrepreneur, has created a minidocumentary I am proud to have helped support. If you get time, replace your usual podcast fodder with this short film. You’ll see how legacy governments climb on the backs of potential wealth creators and how new governance niches can help people rise out of poverty.

Let a thousand prosperity zones bloom.

Underthrow readers know I am a cheerleader for the Honduran ZEDEs (special economic zones) and other alternatives to corrupt legacy systems that hold their people back. Prospera is a nascent governance experiment the authoritarian socialist Honduran government is threatening.

Hansen mines the minds of those committed to experiments in governance.

Note: I am helping plan and host a free cities event in Prospera as part of the Vitalia Forever series. I hope you can join me for part or all of that series.
