Скачать или смотреть The Rise of Estonia’s Economy (The First Digital Republic)

In 1991, Estonia was a frozen, bankrupt post-Soviet backwater. Inflation was 1,000%, and people waited in line for bread. Today, it is the world’s first "Digital Republic"—a place where you can vote, file taxes, and start a company from your bathtub in under 3 minutes.
How did a tiny nation with no resources transform into the Silicon Valley of Europe?
This video explores the insane economic experiment of Estonia. We cover the "shock therapy" of the 90s, the invention of Skype, the world's first cyber war, and the revolutionary "X-Road" that killed bureaucracy. But it’s not all perfect—we also dive into the massive money laundering scandals and failed crypto experiments that threatened to tear it all down.
From Mart Laar’s radical reforms to the "Skype Mafia," this is the blueprint of how a country becomes a startup.
