Rarely do countries get the chance to be led by someone as smart, thoughtful, and well-read as ⁦@Tharman_S⁩ . Congratulations Singapore!

"The world seems to have forgotten that excessive financialization is responsible for some of the worst economic crises of the last four decades." Nice piece by @arvindsubraman

This is a great book. Full of insights about how our economies are turning local and why we should not mourn the passing of hyper-globalization.

Very interesting conversation between Roland Fryer and Stephen Dubner, on policing, DEI initiatives, education, and Harvard.

Very interesting thread.

Talking of books, greatly enjoying these two new books on how to do qualitative research right — a topic much neglected by economists. First this little gem:

A great book. Highly recommended.

Very good conversation with @jasonfurman on the “glass two-thirds full” recovery on the @ezraklein show today

Now that I finished this, I can report it is a riveting book. A poignant tale about how American capitalism treats less-than-college educated workers, told through the stories of three individuals. Highly recommended.
