🇧🇪 and Mokyr. Mokyr's dissertation and first papers addressed one of the key question of our econ history : why did Belgium start its Industrial Revolution much before the Netherlands, despite having similar institutions and culture ? He wrote that in the mid 70s! (1/5)

Mokyr's work could not have been done today in most economics departments, but the irony is that his work would not fit in history departments today, either. Methodologically he seems more 'history' than 'economics' to economists, but the content and reasoning are too economic…

In my course on the “Economic and Political Performance of Civilizations,” which I have taught at Duke since 2008, we used to spend a week on “Lever of Riches.” A few years ago, we switched to “Culture of Growth.” Mokyr’s works on the ideas, institutions, and attitudes that drive…

Re-up. Add to this point that @tarunsmehta made: total cost of rare earth magnets in a 2W is less than ₹200. With enough consistent demand from the automotive segment, China can be displaced even if the costs of magnet production increase by 2x or 3x.

The Su-57 is a bad idea. Here's why.

My piece on @ndtv as reports say India considering Russian Su-57 fighter. India must not buy it! 🚫 IAF rejected it in the past. 🚫 Russia itself has inducted very few. 🚫 It doesn't use in its war in Ukraine. Couldn't establish air superiority. 🚫 Sanctions = Chinese parts =…

I don’t think so. 1- Project Kusha should be our bet. We are good with air defence systems now. 2- S-400/500 will come with Chinese electronics. It’s going to be very problematic.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ India, which withdrew from the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) programme with Russia in 2018 over concerns about the Su-57’s underwhelming stealth and super cruise capabilities, is now looking at acquiring the same aircraft. India is examining the possibility of…

Pakistan's oversized nuclear arsenal and over-range missiles have been explicable for a long time. It's another matter that Washington & Western analysts didn't want to admit the explicability at the time.

Well, that Pakistani ICBM is seeming more explicable. (Can’t wait for Islamabad to discover how hard it is to credibly extend deterrence to the periphery.)

Back in the ‘50s US secretaries of state Acheson & Dulles just couldn’t fathom why a very poor India was not falling in line like European & other poor countries. Ditto Kissinger & his successors. Looks like Washington still doesn’t get it.

India didn’t ask for this lose-lose game. Nobody in India wants a break with the United States. But nobody in India gets to make Washington’s foreign policy decisions. 2/2

Yes, a meaningful SCO Summit and engagements with Russia and China. But come on... Check out the agreements India signed with Japan just ahead of the SCO Summit. Don't conflate ponds with oceans.
