About this listen

In this episode of The Deep Dive – Exploring Radical Ideas, we dismantle the populist myth that globalization harms national prosperity. Drawing on historical parallels from China, the U.S., and even the horrors of Pol Pot’s regime, we show how capitalism—based on free trade, innovation, and individual rights—creates a true win-win world. From Apple and Foxconn to 10-year wealth creation cycles, we reveal how nations flourish not through isolation, but through the free flow of goods, capital, people, and ideas.
