A great relationship recession is under way. By our calculation, the world has at least 100m more single people today than if coupling rates were still as high as in 2017. The shift is likely to exacerbate the already dramatic fall in global fertility economist.com/leaders/2025/1…
Le Bénin se lance, à partir de la plateforme de Glo-Djigbé, dans la transformation de son coton. Pour remporter son pari, il lui faut renforcer son carnet de commandes en multipliant les partenariats avec les marques internationales.
Jeune Afrique a infiltré une chaîne Telegram privée du groupe Wagner. Il en ressort un quotidien de torture, d’exécutions et de profanations de cadavres, en particulier au Mali. Des crimes de guerre racistes, documentés par leurs auteurs pour un public à tendance néonazie.

Mokyr never published in a «top 5» journal until very late in his career, when he finally did together with David de la Croix & @mdoepke. Later he did so again, w/ Morgan Kelly and Cormac Ó Gráda. Whatever you think of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, consider that.
