373: Guyana: A Trip to the World’s Fastest Growing Economy

What if the fastest-growing economy in the world was also one of the most underdeveloped? That’s the paradox of Guyana, a tiny, English-speaking nation tucked between Venezuela and Brazil. I spent several days on the ground for my very first trip to this country.

In this episode, I am joined by my co-host, Marc Clair, to unpack everything I learned about the country, from its interesting demographics to its bizarre colonial legacy and its modern geopolitical situation. By the end, you’ll understand exactly why Guyana should be on your radar… just not for the reasons you think.
