When the world we are trying to explain and improve...is not well described by a simple model, we must continue to improve our frameworks and theories...to understand complexity and not simply reject it. - Elinor Ostrom, awarded the Nobel Prize for work on the commons.

Informative thread from @EBGresser. While in WTO Committees, the US mightily fights countries trying to implement measures to protect breastfeeding, it protects formula producers in its own home market.

“Economists are known for being a male-dominated bunch, with a rough-and-tumble, take-no-prisoners seminar culture. But if you want to scare a room full of them, talk about the economics of breastmilk,” @Kadee_Russ writes in our latest op-ed. https://t.co/OUyfI7pzql

[Kate Davidson @KateDavidson]

“We have neglected nursing parents in economic policy, and we have turned a blind eye to the political economy of breastmilk. We have forgotten that the breast is the world’s shortest supply chain.”

The current shortages of baby formula should be a wake-up call to policymakers, argues @Kadee_Russ. It's one of many examples, where corporate interests are given more weight than public health. https://t.co/Hy0ZCOyaAp

Great piece by @Kadee_Russ.

The shortage of infant formula once again underscores the need for better competition policies. Today on @TheCommons_IPD hosted by @Policy_Dialogue, economist @Kadee_Russ makes the case. https://t.co/MIIOehtWz1

[Kadee Russ @Kadee_Russ]

Thank you, @rperezescamilla.

[The Commons @TheCommons_IPD]

Out today, @Kadee_Russ on the infant formula shortage and how it again highlights the need for economists to work on better policies. https://t.co/OUyfI7pzql

[The Commons @TheCommons_IPD]

Tomorrow, a powerful call by @Kadee_Russ to economists to work on better policies for breastfeeding parents. But first they need to be able to handle hearing a word that has “breast” in it.
