In this episode, I dive into the cultural concept of “La Viveza Criolla,” a term commonly used in Latin America to describe a clever, street-smart attitude that often involves bending the rules for personal gain. From bribery in Ecuador to tax evasion across various countries, we explore how this mentality shapes societies and the consequences it brings. Whether it’s seen as survival or opportunism, La Viveza Criolla raises important questions about fairness, trust, and the long-term impact on communities.
