Carl-Henri Prophète on The Reality of Haiti

Description: Haiti is constantly reduced to superficial headlines of chaos, but the reality is grounded in hard historical and economic facts. In this episode, economist Carl-Henri Prophète provides an unfiltered look at the structural realities driving the nation's current collapse. What we cover: The Ground Reality: Surviving and moving goods in a fragmented state, beyond the abstract label of "instability." The Macro Paradox: What the official economic data hides, and the double-edged sword of remittances. The NGO Illusion: Why international development ideas fail when they hit fragile economies. History’s Bill: Weighing external punishments (embargoes, indemnities) against domestic governance failures. The Post-Revolution Trade-off: Did the institutions that protected freedom and prevented a return to slavery also permanently limit long-term economic growth? Please forgive any glitches or cuts in the sound and video. This episode was recorded across 3 countries with varying degrees of internet connectivity between them.

The Real China Shock

Tobi and I examine what we believe is the real “China Shock”: the redirection of export demand that might otherwise have gone to the United States toward Nigeria and other markets. We trace the economic and geopolitical consequences of that shift and outline practical policy and strategic responses a country like Nigeria could adopt to capture opportunity and manage disruption. Key topics covered * How export displacement works and why Nigeria is a likely beneficiary * Policy responses Nigeria should consider to sustain industrial growth and build resilience * Geopolitical implications for the two competing superpowers and for regional trade dynamics Listen and watch The episode is available in audio and as a video on our YouTube page.
