Economic growth and development becomes much more cooler and awe inspiring when you think of it less as "line goes up" and more as "increasing productive power of the species".

On this Columbus Day, I am remembering America's *true* founding (the 14 year period during which part of the present-day United States was ruled by the Knights Hospitaller)

Four items by Mokyr: the first is a topic recognised by the Nobel, but the other three are less well known areas of Mokyr: his study of the Irish famine, his explanation of why the Dutch Republic was not the first, and his artisan theory of the Industrial Revolution.

I must say I'm completely and strongly opposed to this. The good name of President Trump should not be coupled with that institution. They should give it to Greta. They deserve each other.

“I hereby announce, we will rally speakers and presidents of parliaments from around the world to submit your candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize next year”

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.

We really should have solved the iodine deficiency problems by the 1970s at the very least. The economic future of the country rests solely on the backs of zoomers and alphas (probably smarter than the former) who are fewer in number than older generations.

Central African levels of iodine deficiency in the Anatolian countryside (1999). Iodine deficiency has a negative impact on IQ. IQ decrease by 12 points was observed in iodine deficient areas in China. Only recently it improved. But not sure if older generations can ever recover.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana interrupted Trump's speech to call for security to eject MKs Ayman Odeh and Ofer Cassif from the plenary after they held up signs saying "genocide." Trump: That was very efficient.

David Wootton, historian of science & author of The Invention of Science, which (in part) argues (contra the HoS orthodoxy) that science played an important part in the history of technology, credits Mokyr. Footnote 11 takes you to 4 major works by Mokyr.

Seems like the Trump/Kushner vulgar dealmaking style is just more effective for Middle East geopolitics than the outwardly highminded "Peace Studies" approach preferred by Democrats and their nonprofit proxies. Harris win would surely have meant no ceasefire now.

60 Minutes: When you met Trump back in May, he described you as handsome, tough, and he said you had a strong past. Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: Do you have any doubt about that?

I spent a lot of time discussing the second point a couple years ago: China has been moving up the value chain from low-value goods mainly sold to developed markets to high-value goods that were already forged by its domestic market before spilling over into export markets.

In his first, he was very angry, irritable, distracted and mercurial all the time. He seems to have reached some kind of inner peace since last year, and this is likely part of the reason why his foreign policy has been more successful this time.

I can't believe how rarely it's been remarked upon how there is a very noticeable change in his public demeanour this term compared to his first.
