Why 50 Years of Patient Capital Failed (After 70 Countries, Here's What Actually Works)

Descripción

After 70 countries in development work, the truth is clear: 50 years of patient capital FAILED. Poverty increased everywhere except Scandinavia & China. Why? Markets can't fix poverty created by cultural subjugation. Caste, gender, race, and ethnic oppression require human solutions, not market solutions. I break down: * Why markets only help the vulnerable, not the truly poor * The only model that actually worked (market discipline + aggressive redistribution) * The privilege blind spots in development work * What needs to change to actually reduce global poverty This challenges everything the impact investing industry believes. But if 50 years hasn't worked, don't we owe it to billions in poverty to try something different?

AI Could Run Africa Better Than Politicians. Here's My 6-Step Plan.

Can AI help run Nigeria better than politicians? In this episode, Adebayo Alonge shares a clear, life-first plan for smarter government in Africa. The idea is simple: let AI do the routine work, show spending in public dashboards, spot risks early, and cut graft—while people lead and protect rights. You’ll learn: * How to automate permits, records, and benefits so services are fast and fair * Why real-time transparency builds trust (see where every naira goes) * How prediction can warn us about outbreaks, food shocks, and bad roads * Ways to reduce corruption with rules that are hard to bend * A National Social Fund model to pay for clinics, school meals, and fair salaries * The role of youth leadership—and how elders can advise with care * The guardrails: privacy, ethics, bias checks, and human override Who this is for: Students, public servants, tech builders, policy leaders, and any citizen who wants safe streets, clean water, reliable power, and a strong middle class. Take action: * Comment your vote: “Full AI”, “AI + Humans”, or “No AI.” * If you want to run for office in 2027, DM READY. * If you can fund, mentor, or open doors, DM ALLY. * Share one pilot city where we should test AI-ready services this year.
