Can't wait to start reading the @NarrowCorridor - pretty sure it is another magnus opus after @WhyNationsFail. Thank you Daren Acemoglu and James Robinson for your masterful research and analysis each time. @ZeeMohamed_

“A work of staggering ambition—aiming to explain why liberty has or has not existed at every moment in time in every geography in the world… It is chock full of delightful detours and brilliant nuggets… Smart and timely.” Sam Hill @Newsweek https://t.co/dANRwQqjnE

By the way, one thing that still baffles me every time I'm in the US: what are you supposed to do when complete strangers (in the elevator for example) ask 'how are you're doing?', but they don't wait for the answer, and immediately dive into their phones? Advice much appreciated

In an age when we all promote ourselves, #ArundhatiRoy quietly traveled to Seoul last week to receive the Lee Hochul literary award for peace for 2020. Big prize in South Korea. V prestigious.

For those of us who despair about getting enough sample size for experiments, it is always amazing to read sports science. N=11 male runners randomized in within-person design to do 2 hour run followed by 5km time trial under three treatments. Still get p<0.001 with this N!

You could say "this is amazing" about nearly every Money Stuff, so when I say that *today's* Money Stuff is *AMAZING* you should stop what you're doing and read it.

Congratulations to @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee on her spectacular victory over the forces of communalism and intolerance. The voters of Bengal (& esp Nandigram) have demonstrated where their hearts lie. The BJP has met its match in Bengal, and lost.

In every Bengali home, every hour today, someone is saying, “What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow.”

Visiting a respondent yesterday. She only sometimes has a phone (not a priority, phones have legs) and has zero interest in digital loans. And, she's a financial rock star. Success also looks like this: people with the power to say no to our "solutions."
