Albanian PM credits @ricardo_hausman with fixing the most unfixable country in Europe. All of us economists can learn from the approach. With all my admiration, PMs quotes in laudatio:
"There are many economists who explain the world after it changes, and then there are very few economists who change the world before the world itself notices. Professor Ricardo Hausmann belongs to the second category." **[00:01:22]**
"My relationship with Ricardo started as a total failure. I tried unsuccessfully to reach him when I was in opposition... eventually I understood something very important: first, you have to win the elections, which in retrospect may be the most sophisticated vetting process of all. So, as soon as I won, Ricardo came." **[00:03:45]**
"He came with boots on the ground... countries like ours have seen many experts who know everything, explain it to the country after spending six hours in a hotel, and prepare reports so thick that nobody reads them. Ricardo was completely different. He listened, asked questions, and observed." **[00:07:15]**
"Ricardo’s concept of 'black belt teams' allowed us to overcome bureaucracy and deliver strategic projects. He did not come with presentations, but with a hands-on approach." **[00:08:40]**
"He taught us that a country’s wealth is not what it has under the ground, but what its people know how to do together." **[00:13:50]**
"Ricardo changed the mindset of the government from explaining failures to identifying opportunities." **[00:15:20]**
"I remain grateful not only for your advice, but for your trust in Albania – that this country can aspire to more." **[00:18:10]**

Today in La Paz, @ricardo_hausman and our team released a series of reports on #Bolivia’s economic crisis.

Our researchers spent more than a year examining the underlying causes of the country’s challenges.

The research project, “Bolivia’s Economic Pivot,” shows that this macroeconomic collapse is the most visible symptom of a much deeper crisis.

Our team has outlined a 5-pillar plan to stabilize the economy and unlock Bolivia’s long-term potential.
We’ll highlight some of the challenges and our recovery plan in this thread. (1/8)

Here's a blog post I wrote about the shift, but it's more about policy and politics than about culture. I am not great at writing about culture, but maybe at some point I'll try.

George Robledo was the first overseas star of English football. Never heard of him? Then treat yourself to the latest edition of @FourFourTwo magazine to read my four page article about the Chilean goal machine of the 1940s and 50s.

Lean esta crónica, es pa llorar la weá. Ojalá que el próximo gobierno se pitee al consejo de monumentos. Son puros chantas que ven restos arqueológicos hasta en un basural pa darle peguitas a los compás. Realmente de las peores y más dañinas instituciones de Chile.
