I joined Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable to discuss the virtues I see in East Asia, particularly Japan, Korea, and China, and why Japan may be the best society in the world today.

We also discuss why the so-called Third World should not be confused with “emerging markets,” how Confucian traditions have shaped East Asian societies, the destructive effects of democracy in many countries, and a junior resource issuer that presents a unique value proposition.

Watch the full discussion below:

Key Takeaways

• Why Japan, Korea, and China must be understood differently from much of the so-called emerging world.
• Why Japan may be the best society in the world today.
• How Confucian traditions have shaped East Asian culture, discipline, and social order.
• Why Third World countries are not truly “emerging markets.”
• How democracy can produce destructive and duplicitous effects in societies lacking the necessary cultural foundation.
• Why select junior resource companies can still offer compelling value when carefully analyzed.
