Some serious ADHD apparent in this interview. Like what was that digression about North African countries writing in French? That really should have been edited out.
The theme of that section was about impact of history/tradition on the (suboptimal) ways countries do construction, including "X country tends to learn from Y country's approach even if the realities of X and Y are very different."
I think the point was North Africa learns from France even though the situations are vastly different. All of Asia following Japan's approach was another example.
