Cum poate o ţară în dezvoltare să iasă din sărăcie dacă este prinsă într-un sistem de reguli grețite? Economistul Paul Romer dezvăluie o idee îndrăzneaţă: "oraşe charter," zone administrative, de nisă ale oraşelor reglementate de o coaliţie a naţiunilor.   (Ar putea Guantánamo Bay deveni următorul Hong Kong?)

Ideea radicala a lui Paul Romer: Oraşe Charter.

Chief Economist and Senior Vice President, World Bank

Countries struggling with poverty often remain stuck because of outdated or harmful rules, not just a lack of resources. In some places, students study under airport streetlights because their homes have no electricity, even as they own cellphones. Rules that discourage investment or innovation can have devastating effects, as seen in satellite images showing dark patches over nations like North Korea and Haiti. Building city-scale zones with better rules—where people and investors can opt in—offers a practical, scalable path to prosperity.
