Simon Black recently posted six places in the world that are full of
opportunity and freedom; in a couple significant ways, they coincide
with mine. His picks were Chile, Singapore, Columbia, Sri Lanka,
Malaysia and Estonia.
Most importantly, we both put Chile at the top. It would be too
redundant for me here to reiterate all of Chile’s virtues. We both put
Estonia in the top six, too. In his subsequent post, he praised New
Zealand, which has been in my top list for 15 years. Perhaps nothing
more needs to be said since most other countries pale by comparison to
those in his list. However, I would still highlight a few other
countries: Panama, Poland, the Czech Republic, and maybe Serbia. Of
course, I purposely excluded many fine islands, Hong Kong and European
enclaves from consideration, each of which would be fine choices for the
right person.
