FEE President Lawrence W. Reed delivers the opening address at FreedomFest 2015, "What Alexis de Tocqueville Teaches Us About American Exceptionalism — Can It Last?
Magatte Wade, a Senegalese entrepreneur and one of the Forbes 20 Youngest Power Women in Africa, explains why the solution to poverty in Africa is to expand opportunities for entrepreneurship and trade.
Magatte urges students to think with their heads as well as their hearts as she shares her personal experience with entrepreneurship and global development. The solution to poverty in Africa is not simply more foreign aid, which often hurts local African business owners, it is policy that makes doing business easier.
This presentation was filmed in Austin, Texas at FEE’s 2015 Economics of Entrepreneurship high school seminar.

Secret police have arrested Yon Goicoechea, a pro-freedom activist critical of the Venezuelan government.
Diosdado Cabello, President of Venezuela's legislature and a member of the Venezuelan military, confirmed Goicoechea's detention in a broadcast on state-controlled TV.
In 2008, Goicoechea won the Cato Institute's Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty for leading the student protest movement in Venezuela. He succeeded in defeating constitutional reforms which would have given Hugo Chavez unprecedented authoritarian power.
But now, the Venezuelan government is using his award to claim that Goicoechea was "trained by the US empire for years" as an agitator.
Goicoechea's wife and friends say that his arrest is an attempt to distract from the problems created by Venezuela's socialist government.
Once among the wealthiest nations in South America, after nationalizing major industries, enacting wage and price controls, and imposing other severe restrictions on the economy, Venezuelans are currently experiencing unending shortages of basic goods and services, mass starvation, a shocking 500% inflation rate, and one of the highest rates of violent crime in the world.
News of Yon Goicoechea's arrest comes shortly after the Venezuelan government announced a new law creating forced labor in the country.
How has the West conquered famine? Does fresh fruit all year round have anything to do with declining hunger around the world? Why could the hundred-mile diet endanger the progress we've made? Host Janet Neilson will discuss these topics with the University of Toronto’s Dr. Pierre Desrochers.
