Diaspora Talks aim at gathering inspiring individuals from the Tunisian diaspora community and give them the stage to share perspectives, life journeys, insights and ideas. Diaspora Talks are inclusive and multi-disciplinary. Our guiding vision is: A prosperous Tunisia. In our new season "How Lafkar!", we take each time an inspiring idea from a book, a movie, a talk, etc. and try to dissect it with you in easy spoken Tunisian dialect.

The Prosperity Paradox: How can innovation lift Tunisia towards economic and social prosperity? Part 1

How was it possible for South Korea to go from a development aid receiver to donor within a few decades? What can we learn from the first African telecom company Celltell? Is a great constitution a must to develop Tunisia?

We visit these questions and more in this podcast, to extract lessons relevant to Tunisians and Maghrebis who want to contribute to development in our countries. The Prosperity Paradox is a brilliant book with a key idea: to effectively fight poverty, don't fight poverty, but rather generate prosperity through market-creating innovations and entire nations will be lifted out of poverty. Diaspora in Action members and show hosts Hajer ben Charrada and Amin Zayani together with our dear guest and active member from Morocco Mehdi Fekari will take you through the ideas in this book in three parts:

Part 1: Market creating innovations with examples from Korea, Japan, Africa and Mexico. What can we learn from Toyota's driving schools, Henry Ford's model T and Singer's sewing machines?

Part 2: Corruption, good laws and infrastructure. Is a shiny new constitution a requirement for development? Does investing in infrastructure create prosperity?

Part 3: Addressing feedback, questions and comments from you, our dear listeners.
