I've listened to practically every podcast Efosa Ojomo has been on. This was another good one, especially the jobs part that complements the recent article.

I got into this and more with Feyi Fawehinmi and Tobi Lawson on the Frontier Markets podcast. We covered The Prosperity Paradox, what made Clay Christensen so special, and the new book I am working on. Listen here. https://t.co/gyrkzSOYDq

[Efosa Ojomo @EfosaOjomo]

Jobs are not the goal. They are the output of consumption. When people consume more, businesses hire more. This is why a consistent commitment to market creation matters more than almost anything else in development.

A humanoid robot crushed the world record for a half marathon.
But not before it crashed near the finish and had to be set straight by 'simple' humans.
Forget performance-enhancing drugs; get ready for an era of performance-enhancing technologies.
Athletes will put technologies inside their bodies to become Olympic champions.

[Oyeronke Oyebanji @OyeRonke_]

Spent the week having (too many) conversations about NGR. This @1914Reader piece expresses it well

“Taking reforms beyond short-term stabilisation towards structural transformation requires a new kind of political leadership & elite bargain than we have”

[Kevin A. Bryan @Afinetheorem]

Industrial policy revisionism is out of control. Yes, there can be industries with spillovers. No, the average 1970s economy that subsidized with debt random industries connected to government monopolies wasn't on path to growth! Look at what pre-WC policy actually looked like!

[Habyb @eta_habyb]

If food is cheap, you can exploit cheap labour for manufacturing productivity. Expensive food is a problem for African manufacturers -- Carl Henri Prophete (Frontier Matters).
