This episode explores Dubai's economic model and rapid development, transforming from a remote desert city into one of the world's wealthiest metropolises. The video explains that Dubai's wealth is not solely built on oil but through strategic investments, free economic zones, and aggressive global marketing to attract foreign capital and talent. However, Dubai's success comes with challenges, such as labor rights issues, money laundering concerns, and increasing competition from other Middle Eastern countries. The video also analyzes how Dubai operates its government like a "corporation" and adopts a high-risk, high-reward development strategy. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
