Season 3, Episode 4: Georgia - a success story in the fight against corruption

<p>The country of Georgia (not the U.S. State) became independent in 1991 when the USSR fell apart. &nbsp;Georgians are a people with a long and distinguished history, a unique language (and alphabet!) and some of the most delightful cuisine in the world. &nbsp;But from 1991 until 2003, Georgia was also one of the most corrupt countries in the world and considered a dangerous place in which to do business. &nbsp;Then, in 2003, Mikhail Saakashvili became Georgia's President and embarked on a quest to destroy corruption in Georgia. &nbsp;Twenty years later, Georgia is a country which is considered a good place in which to do business and enjoys decent rankings from Transparency International. &nbsp;We examine how Georgia literally turned itself around. &nbsp;</p> <p>Intro music: penguinmusic-modern-chillout-12641</p> <p>Ending music: Georgian National Anthem</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gene-tausk/message
