About this episode
Each year The Economist selects its country of the year: a place that has improved the most. Improvement, though, was damnably rare in 2021. We run through our nominations and the shortlist, and take a close look at why the winner won . And we examine what has gone on in South and South-East Asia, which offered no contenders whatsoever.
