Is immigration good or bad for a country? This question always strikes me as unhelpful, writes John Burn-Murdoch. Some places do a much better job of creating environments for people of different backgrounds to integrate into the economy and wider society https://t.co/r8zVfyoT51

Lamentable. Una serie de medidas populistas vienen causando un daño muy severo a los pilares económicos que permitieron al Perú crecer y reducir la pobreza en el pasado.

In August 1999, President Yeltsin appointed his FSB Chief Putin as the new Prime Minister. Same day, he named him as the official successor. Yet, there was a problem. To become a president, Putin had to go through elections which he could not win.

He was completely obscure.

China has turned itself into the largest official creditor to low-income countries (larger than the World Bank and the IMF), with a massive increase in lending since the mid-2000s.

Ojo con la alerta de Fitch sobre la meta de déficit fiscal que Perú no alcanzó en 2023–algo que se advirtió–: la agencia considera que un incumplimiento sostenido de la meta fiscal, frente al menor crecimiento y un difícil contexto político, puede afectar el rating del país🧵🇵🇪👇

Austerity leads to polarisation:

"Our macro-level analysis of 166 elections [in Western democracies) since 1980 finds that austerity measures increase both electoral abstention and votes for non-mainstream parties, thereby boosting party system polarization."

Why is Madrid the capital of Spain?

Madrid is quite unique:
• No river
• Very recent
• Tiny when it became a capital
So why?

En este artículo publicado en el último Semanario de @comexperu se hace la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué se pudo hacer con todo el dinero no ejecutado en 2023?

Los recursos públicos no utilizados en 2023 sumaron S/ 25,557 millones, monto con el cual se pudo construir más de 5,000 postas médicas o pavimentar todas las vías nacionales no pavimentadas. 1/4

URGENTE. El crimen organizado acaba de tomar la Televisora TC de Guayaquil en Ecuador mientras estaban en vivo. Tienen secuestrado a los periodistas y los camarógrafos. Son miembros de la pandilla de Los Lobos.

10 Excellent Works by Amartya Sen
1) Home in the World: A Memoir
An excellent intro to Sen's overall approach. This memoir contains dozens of insights on Econ and philosophy, as well as into other thinkers Sen has engaged with over his life. Wonderful and highly readable.

1. I recently learned that although the world's largest producer of cashews is Côte d’Ivoire, the world's largest exporter of cashews is Vietnam.

Vietnam is making a fortune. Côte d’Ivoire is not.

This is a story of successful globalization and failed industrialization.

Impresionante el paquete de reformas anunciado por el ministro de economía de la Argentina, Luis Caputo. Terapia de shock económico empezando casi que ipso facto. Los argentinos acaban de tener su propio “Que Dios nos ayude”.

Kissinger wrote of Metternich and Castlereagh that "each failed as he succeeded." As I argue in my latest for @WPReview, Kissinger could also have written that about himself.
