In short: Success in sports and academics is rarely just about raw genetics. This video explores how public policy can create 'talent ladders' to systematically identify and nurture human potential on a national scale.
Public policy professor Anirudh Krishna argues that the secret to national success lies in structured pathways. By examining examples like Jamaica's sprinters and South Korea's golfers, he demonstrates how specific systems can cultivate excellence.
