I met Nuno here some time ago, through 45 Graus, by my friend José Maria Pimentel, whom I also had the pleasure of hosting here at Despolariza. I wanted this conversation to be as deep and informative as possible, so I dedicated the days leading up to the recording to reading Nuno's book, "The Causes of Portuguese Backwardness." And the truth, my friends, is that it would have taken many more hours to delve into this topic with the necessary depth. However, what an insightful conversation it was! We started in 1143 and ended in the post-April 25th period. Nuno has a series of arguments, based on facts, that destroy some myths about the old question: "Why do we remain at the tail end of Europe?" To find out why, I invite you to watch this excellent episode! REFERENCES Book: The Causes of Portuguese Backwardness, Nuno Palma https://www.wook.pt/livro/as-causas-d...
