Ep. 48 - El sistema secuestrado con Guzmán González

Forty-eighth episode of La Ingobernable. We talk with Guzmán González about Spain as seen from Singapore, about belonging, innovation, and merit. Guzmán was the featured guest in the episode "The Forgotten Empire," with Ramón Vega (   • Ep. 30 - El Imperio olvidado con Ramón Vega  ). With Guzmán, we analyze what it means to view Spain from the outside, the difference between being an expat and an immigrant, the emotional connection to the country, children raised abroad, the Spanish community abroad, the real problems of innovation, the system hijacked by opportunists, and that strange national tendency to ask for permission before doing anything significant.
