How is a person supposed to tell if they are having a psychotic break or not these days?

Everyone else can see the big rabbit listening to Trump talk about bombing Iran, right?

The #Bills went into Houston, got mauled (8 sacks, totally dominated)…and still had a chance to win in the final minute.

However flawed, I’m riding with Josh Allen in the playoffs every time over the unproven QBs. 🦬💪

People love to try to dunk on GDP.

But we keep using it because it's so informative about the things that matter: child mortality, happiness, education.

And, unlike a "happiness" metric, it can actually inform policymakers.

Manufacturing for export has been the major path for rapid growth in developing countries.

How is the World Bank's private sector arm the IFC doing in supporting that model?

Not so good.

Hello! I'm starting a new blog/newsletter thing.

First post is about aid and growth, and what I think is missing from the renewed enthusiasm in DC to subsidize private investment in developing countries: i.e., export discipline.

🇻🇳 In less than three decades, Vietnam’s electronics exports surged 4,700-fold—from $29M to $138B—turning the country into the 6th largest tech manufacturer globally. Electronics now make up 34% of total exports, up from just 6% in 1995.

Here’s how it happened 🧵👇 (1/7)

📈 Electronics became Vietnam’s export engine.

Vietnam’s story shows how the right incentives, anchor investors, and timing can catalyze transformation.

The next chapter? Strengthening the capabilities of domestic firms to capture more value at home.

Most successful cases of economic development in modern history have involved a surge in exports.

Now, we can understand export-led development much better thanks to the new Export Boom Atlas, which maps 82 export booms.

Super excited to see this out!

@haugejostein Thanks so much for sharing @haugejostein!
