Life of a Nomad

In this discussion with Chris Baker on Fountainhead Forum, I discuss India, the Third World, liberty, prosperity, Western civilization, and life as a digital nomad.

A nomadic life offers freedom, but it also reveals the deeper differences between societies: order and disorder, trust and mistrust, competence and dysfunction, liberty and collectivism. Moving across countries makes it clear that prosperity is not created merely by policy or money, but by culture, institutions, moral habits, and the civilizational foundations beneath them.
