Ep 2: When Survival Gets Marketed as Entrepreneurship
Notas del episodio
Every 30 hours, a new billionaire is created.Every 33 hours, a million people fall into extreme poverty. Over 120 million people are now forcibly displaced — not by accident, but by political choices, economic extraction, and systemic neglect. In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman examines why refugee and migrant entrepreneurship is so often survival-driven rather than opportunity-driven. From Gaza to Kakuma Refugee Camp, discover how displacement shapes enterprise, why markets fail the most vulnerable, and how grassroots economies emerge when every other door is closed. We explore refugee entrepreneurship, crisis-driven enterprise, and dignity-based economies that challenge profit-first models — and ask what it really means to build in a broken system.
