The process of settler colonialism and the development of 'inclusive institutions' in AJRs framework involved intense violence — in many cases verging on genocide of native populations. It's a mystery to me that AJR do not discuss the brutality of settler colonialism.

Here's my take on this year's Nobel prize in economics. I highlight that it exposes how the economics discipline fails to ask critical questions about colonialism, imperialism and the universality of western institutions. theconversation.com/this-years-nob…

Here are three books that challenge the work by last week's winners of the Nobel prize in economics. In different ways, all these books highlight the shortcomings of the West's model of 'good governance'.

Here goes: 10 Great Recent Policy Books (2020-23) 1) The Economics of the Welfare State - Nicholas Barr The main textbook on welfare state econ and still a classic. Covers everything from theories of just distribution to pensions to health insurance. Great starting resource.

Curious how some leaders advocate policies passionately until they’re on the other side of the aisle. When principles shift with position, is it strategy or inconsistency? True leadership requires steadfastness, not convenience. #PoliticalIntegrity #LeadershipMatters

Common knowledge is that ⬆️ access to education allows workers to move from less productive ➡️ more productive sectors. But where do the jobs in the productive sectors come from? New Working Paper 🧵

10 Great Books on Macroeconomics 1) A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States 1961-2021 - Alan Blinder A terrific work by a leading economist and former central banker. Candid, insightful and often funny, the discussions on academia vs practice are particularly good.

Most academics think critical thinking is about being a skeptic. But the key mental model isn't about questioning everything. Most academics think it's about: • Learning complex frameworks • Memorizing logical fallacies • Speaking in fancy jargon • Reading more papers
