A fantastic essay by my @mercatus colleague @ebwhamilton for @WorksInProgMag on how DC densified, and thereby avoided the kind of price rise experienced in other cities like SF, NYC and LA.

Excellent thread on Padma Desai’s work and life 👇

Tweet May 9, 2023
Dr Padma Desai's passing feels deeply personal. Last year, working on an essay on women liberalizers gave me a chance to engage with her peerless scholarship that she built with ambition and inspiring conviction to not conform in thought and in actio

Also read this wonderful essay by my colleagues @kadambari_shah and @shreyas_nl documenting Padma Desai's (and Isher Judge-Ahluwalia and Sudha Shenoy) contributions to what eventually culminated in the 1991 reforms.

Just incredible to have a chance to meet and speak with @BDUTT. Everyone must read #HumansOfCovid. It’s our collective grief, our stories through the pandemic told in the most empathetic and accessible way. Thank you, Barkha, for everything you do.

Fantastic essay by my colleague Shreyas Narla @shreyas_nl on the first generation of female economists working on liberal ideas for the Indian economy. Featuring the journeys of Padma Desai, Isher Judge-Ahluwalia, and Sudha Shenoy. This is part of the 1991 Project @mercatus.
