Best evidence I’ve seen so far that inflation was a major electoral driver in 2024

@AsimAli6 @tripurdaman @tunkuv @RoyHistory1 The role of land reforms in East Asian growth is massively exaggerated. If they were decisive, then West Bengal (which had major reforms implemented by actual communists, who ruled for decades) would have boomed

@JenKuanWang and I analyze Taiwan's 1950s land reform, long seen as central to its economic takeoff—and to the East Asian Miracle.

By digitizing archival data, we bring new causal evidence to the table. What we find is surprising!

An Indian judge ruled on the leadership of an affluent Indian Muslim sect, siding with the candidate most of the sect supports. In retaliation, not only have he and his wife been threatened by the losing side in India, but his daughter in *London* has faced assault/threats.

New study looking at variation in the iPhone’s rollout across America (using variation in the availability of AT&T 3G, which at one point had a monopoly with US iPhones): iPhones explain 33-52% of recent TFR decline. This effect was likely eugenic on net.

@BarneyFlames It’s crazy how anons with a basic understanding of global IQ differences know more than highly credentialed economists/academics who keep writing increasingly convoluted pieces about why East Asian countries got rich while others haven’t. Here’s one from Banerjee/Duflo

[HHH_Report @HHH_Report]

It's by reading articles like this one by Banerjee/Duflo where you realise how much the social sciences miss out due to the IQ taboo. It has more predictive power than most national characteristics but is totally ignored here. I'm sure B&D could publish many great IQ/Econ papers

One thing that I think people forget is that by 2013, an enormous and unprecedented gap had opened up between college and non-college whites. The latter half of the Obama years saw the electoral conditions for Trump’s victory set in place well before Trump descended the escalator

A woman, Parsi by birth and practice, was denied last rites by Parsi community leaders because she had married a Muslim. Her husband’s community also refused to allow her burial in their graveyard because she had never adopted her husband’s religion and continued to profess Zoroastrianism, the faith into which she was born. Eventually, she was cremated according to Hindu funeral rites on humanitarian grounds.

@IndianTintin_ It’s because being a $3000 per capita country isn’t like it was when America was at that level. A resident in a modern day $3000 per capita country has electricity, TV, and a smartphone to distract him. And enough food/cash from the state to get by

Al'hamdulillah donations for 180 souls are in hand.
But we will not distribute until we reach 500. Because how do you feed some and turn away others standing right there?
We need 320 more.
Every rupee brings us closer to the moment we can finally serve everyone together with dignity.

New study: WFH hit singles and adults w/ families completely differently post COVID:
Singles → more time alone, more mental distress Families → less time alone, least distress
For singles, the office proved to be a key social resource. For families, it's clearly not.

BREAKING: Venezuela’s crude oil exports have surged +61% YoY, to 1.25 million barrels per day, the highest in 7 years.

The surge was led by rising shipments to the US at ~558,000 barrels per day, India at ~427,000 barrels per day, and Europe at ~169,000 barrels per day.

In total, 67 cargoes were exported from Venezuelan ports in May.

Since November 2025, Venezuela’s oil exports have surged +150%, or ~750,000 barrels,

This comes as the US eased sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry following the capture of Maduro earlier this year.

Venezuela's oil ministry is now targeting output of 1.37 million barrels per day by year-end, which would mark a +22% increase from 2025 levels and the highest since US sanctions were first imposed in 2019.

Venezuelan oil is increasingly flowing into global markets.
