Funny fact: These stocks for piracy raids are pretty much what the stock market was invented for in the 17th century in the Netherlands. Merchants pooled their capital to buy and muster ships to travel to Asia or the Americas and would share the profit if these ships return from their merchant "raids".

Also, piracy started when Europeans who depleted their own fishing areas begin to come and STEAL somali fisherman’s only food source while they also dumped toxic waste in the process. The fisherman got together and TAXED those illegal ships but somehow you wanna call that “piracy” huh? You’re just regurgitating the same OLD and OUTDATED western talking points.

Just like to point out the reason for the Somali pirates lays with many of our countries. In Australia, fisherman from Geraldton and other towns would go to the fishing waters near Africa in the off season and pillage their waters. This lead to a huge decline in fish and their fisherman couldn't exist. They were forced to defend their fishing waters. One fisherman I know had weapons on his Australian boat in case he caught a 'shark.' The fisherman defending their waters ended up becoming their first pirates. Western fisherman, many multi-millionaires, created this industry.

The way you break down complex economic concepts and make them accessible is truly commendable. I wanted to reach out with a suggestion for a future video topic: the economy of Albania. Albania's economic landscape is quite intriguing, especially considering its transition from a communist regime to a market-oriented system. It would be fascinating to delve into the factors that have shaped Albania's economic growth, the challenges it has faced along the way, and the potential opportunities that lie ahead. Covering the economy of Albania would not only provide valuable insights into this unique nation, but it would also shed light on the broader dynamics of transitioning economies. I believe your expertise and ability to explain complex topics would greatly benefit viewers seeking a deeper understanding of this lesser-known economy. Thank you for consistently producing engaging and informative content. I'm eagerly looking forward to your future videos, including one on the economy of Albania. Keep up the excellent work!

One slightly morbid thought I have about this: Historically, the common people did economically well after large losses of population, as the price for labour went up, and there was less strain on resources, especially farmland (the central economical consideration in a subsistence agriculture economy). And even before the Somali central government just evaporated, the civil war was a giant blood letting, including a targetted, concerted genocide claiming 50k-200k people by itself. I wonder if that as well had an effect on the relative economic/HDI prosperity during the anarchy...

For a country like Somalia, it might actually have been quicker, easier, faster and more stable to literally start over with literal feudalism, a thousand small Lord's with local armies and very strong powers balanced against a king with strong powers, and aim for a parliament. You can think about Democracy after you have stability. This is even a situation where hard metal currency give more benifit than drawback, and with the inflation what it is, it's already mostly in a gold and silver equivalent economy anyway.

Somalis have always operated on a basis of basically confederalism, there's a deep cultural reason why there has never been anything akin to a "King of Somalis", and that is because even though Somalis are a unified tribe like how Somalis are one of the Major Tribes in Ethiopia, Somalis are stratified in terms of Clans, which are basically an organization of very large Somali families that are linked together by Ancestral Lineage and Ancestral Territory, Somali Clans deciding to come together are fundamentally the reason why Somalis have developing a Federal System now.

I don't know the geopolitical situation in Somalia, but given the rivalries between tribal groups, could Somalia even be considered one country? Are the borders drawn on a map by some British and Italian politicians relevant to the country as it is today? Inevitably the conflicts in Somalia are caused by tribal groups wanting to claim the whole country for themselves. But perhaps it would be better to break up Somalia into those groups, then monitor the cross border conflicts in the same way we did when Yugoslavia broke up and the Serbs tried to control everyone still. There are still issues with Serbs in the Balkans, but the economies of the Balkans have recovered massively since the open warfare of the 1990s.

Breaking up Somalia along clan lines is remarkably stupid as clans then further break down into subclans and subsubclans. All of which are as likely to war within and without the clan. Besides, clan borders will not be contiguous (because single clans are spread over wide areas, while multiple clans intermix in many areas), clan borders would not be static (because Somalis are a nomadic people and clan borders shift as wars and droughts make greener pastures attractive), and nobody wants foreigners "monitoring conflicts" between local clans and - if war is ever deemed necessary by local clans - would take extensive steps to keep meddling foreigners out of local affairs as they have done before and are doing literally right now. Besides, that the borders were drawn by foreigners is not a problem in the same way as they are in other African countries. They forced complete strangers and different cultures/religions/societies to form a single country together, but here, it's rather the opposite. Colonial borders cuts right through Somali lands and people, separating them into multiple countries. This too has been the source of major wars and a few genocides in years past.

I find Somaliland rather interesting, its genesis was possible the British colony of British Somaliland, which may have given this nation some form of national identity. While it did join up with Somalia in 1960, Somalia immediately annoyed the locals which resulted in a revolt in 1961, which on and off continued until 1991, when it finally gained some level of stability. It has been a functioning democracy since that date and has received little aid from the UN, or the rest of the developed world. The only country which has recognised it and provided some official assistance is Taiwan. I have no idea why the rest of the world fails to support this rather interesting experiment in Islamic democracy, but I suspect some level of vested interests may be in play here.

In 1961 the Somali Republic took control of state institutions in the former state of Somaliland, which greatly annoyed the people in that part of Somali, resulting in a revolt in December 1961.

Also we like the Irish because the Irish aren't operating black ops sites, torture chambers, stealing oil and gold in the north, subsidizing and dropping weapons in remote locations to so called "terr0r1sts" etc etc. that's the americans and your neighbors the old british stock.

It shouldn’t be surprising that a more-or-less stateless society would have a vague resemblance to a successful market economy. At least, more of a resemblance than you’d think. Maybe it’s the case that, while you can’t get any more unbalanced on the chaos side than anarchy, there is no limit to how unbalanced you can get on the order side.
