Goodbye Gino. You saved millions. Growing up you showed me an Italy that was open to the world, fighting for human rights and equality. You built hospitals where 'you would send a member of your own family'. In doing so, you saved one of my own. Thank you.

Our beloved Gino Strada died this morning.

He was the founder, surgeon, Executive Director, the soul of EMERGENCY.

He was thinking of Afghanistan yesterday.

We love you Gino.

Happy birthday to Albert Hirschman, who would be 106 today.

Hirschman—anti-fascist, resistance hero, later a development economist—may be the most interesting person to ever take up the profession.

🧵 and blog post on his remarkable life and work. 1/
