El coautor del libro influyente: Por qué fracasan los países, el economista y politólogo británico James Robinson nos habla sobre qué está pasando en Colombia actualmente y de qué podría pasar en los próximos años. Mientras él tiene dudas acerca de convertirse en un optimista sobre Colombia, dice que las recientes protestas han mostrado algunas importantes diferencias en comparación con manifestaciones anteriores. También el profesor nos explica que hay mérito a la economía naranja del presidente Iván Duque. Para él, esta podría ser una manera para intentar algo diferente en el país. Hablando de la alcaldesa electa de Bogotá, Claudia López, dice que ella tiene que hacer más que centrarse solo en la lucha contra la corrupción.
Co-author of the highly influential Why Nations Fail, British economist and political scientist James Robinson joins us to assess the current state of Colombia and to discuss what may lie in store in the coming years. While "hesitant to become a Colombian optimist", he says the recent protests have shown some important, potentially game-changing differences compared to previous ones. He also sees some merit to President Iván Duque's Orange Economy as one way for the country to "rethink itself". In relation to Claudia López, the first woman to be elected mayor of Bogotá, he says she must do more than purely focusing on anti-corruption.
