A masterclass on ‘how to speak’ by MIT professor Patrick Winston - 15 key lessons

[Vijayendra Rao @bijurao]

After 26 years at the World Bank, I gave my farewell public lecture: Policy for the People.

Development works when we design with people, not for them.
Listen first. Co-produce. Build agency.

🎥 Video: https://t.co/wbaVBg72T3
📑 Slides: https://t.co/QbsGEhiH52

I reflect on:
• what numbers miss
• the value of narratives and open-ended interviews
• why tracking process matters as much as outcomes
• the importance of culture, history & context in policy design
• listening to those affected by policy

Three examples:
• the underside of growth in Malaysia
• how women’s groups transformed Bihar
• the added value of village democracy in Karnataka

Many thanks to Deon Filmer (chair) and Nandini Krishnan & Robin Mearns for their thoughtful discussions. 🙏🏽

Great meeting with Nigeria @FinMinNigeria Minister Edun and @cenbank Governor Cardoso. I applauded the 🇳🇬 government’s economic reform efforts. We strongly agreed on the need to scale up social spending, continue efforts to improve food security and promote inclusive growth.

[About Switzerland @AbtSwitzerland]

Switzerland, the land of cheese, chocolate… and intelligence! 🧠🇨🇭

According to a ranking by World of Card Games, Switzerland is the most intelligent country in the world:

🥇 Switzerland - 92.02/100
🥈 United Kingdom - 89.40/100
🥉 United States - 89.18/100

The criteria include the number of Nobel Prize nominations, university rankings, the average IQ of countries (based on the Lynn-Becker scale), and levels of higher education. 🎓

While this ranking provides context to the notion of intelligence, it takes many forms beyond academia, recognition, or measurements.

Been thinking about freshman (and high school) macro recently, so lemme ask:

What's the point of teaching the "circular flow" model? What does the student take away from it? What insight will they use in the future? #TeachEcon
