Patrick discusses economic "subsidies" that different countries have around the world.  Every country has it's own circumstances and those circumstances result in effective subsidies (or premiums) relative to other countries.  Patrick's first example is that America taxes gasoline much less than other developed countries, resulting in less expensive energy for American citizens and businesses.  That's effectively a subsidy for American businesses.

The countries in the Persian Gulf GCC region have a number of subsidies as well, including inexpensive energy, a surplus economy, ample public sector resources, inexpensive construction labor and a population skewed heavily towards younger people and not older retired people.  It all amounts to a huge bundle of subsidies for businesses looking to grow and thrive in the GCC region.

Patrick is a professional speaker and an award-winning author.  He has spoken at literally hundreds of events around the world and is available to contribute to conferences and business events focusing on global business trends or online marketing.
