A great write-up on the history of El Salvador. So much knowledge in there.

Curious though, what were you thinking that wasn’t evident at the time? I didn’t find too much besides the following:

This will lead to investing in themselves. Building schools and developing teachers through youth education programs. Fostering tangible prosperity (educational value you can feel and touch.) this is what will guarantee the conditions of stability and economic change for the people in El Salvador. They are creating a new tradition of hope in El Salvador but they do this by first making make peace with the past so they can hope for a better future, it’s truly a remarkable thing.

I really want to read more forward-thinking posts into where El Salvador goes from here, now that the basic foundations of economic freedom are in place. My sense is it could see development at pace that we may not have witnessed before, perhaps surpassing Hong Kong or Singapore or Dubai in transforming themselves in prior decades. Though they are geographically more isolated so I am sceptical. I love hearing the stories of locals returning and finding opportunity in their motherland and construction being 20% of GDP in just a few short years. Of previously unthinkable practices and businesses flourishing.

Reading from visionaries like this who can see and describe a prosperous future I find uplifting. If anyone has read or written articles looking further forward please drop them or below or send them my way.

Not sure I heard a lot of people saying this at that time. I was def one of few. Lot of people thought he was just a dumb puppet.

Also thanks for the comment David, lot of what he talks about in the interview are very basic practical approaches to building a community with a strong foundation it reminds me very much of Church leadership. Something that shocked me when I came back to the church in 21. Regardless how you may feel about it they do teach you to be mindful of your past and seek advice from elders but it all starts with prayer. Sacrificing oneself for the service of others or the future is common knowledge and something that you either fall in line with or leave. The people that leave usually come back because its the only thing that can fill that void they may have in life. Obviously not for everyone but it does work to transform people and communities. Its good to see someone has taken this approach to a country.
