EP 255 - Why Do Muslim Countries Suck?

In this episode, we ask why so many Muslim-majority countries seem less developed, why cleanliness depends on bins, refuse collection and enforcement as much as personal desire, how colonisation broke institutional continuity (and why Algeria's post-independence vacuum looks so different from Turkey's), how the UK's claim culture keeps councils and companies accountable, why a chaotic car inspection in Algeria says it all, and more!
