Still stuns me that EC blocked support for a fertilizer plant in Africa. Great piece by @vijramachandran thebreakthroughjournal.substack.com/p/the-west-nee…
As someone who thinks migration has global benefits, I guess I can't complain too much that "make-in-America" regulations and subsidies increasingly act as employment programs for immigrants, but they would work at lower cost if there was immigration policy reform as well.

I’m puzzled by all the fretting about China trade shock 2.0. First, a subsidy war in EVs and batteries is actually a good thing since there is no global carbon tax. Second, we are no longer in hyperglobalization. Importing countries are free to respond. Remember the Japanese…
Everything @columlynch describes from this @USAID memo is spot-on. Famine likely underway; Israel still obstructing aid; ending famine requires a cease-fire. Under Biden's own policy - and US law - US should already be limiting further military aid.

Indeed. Climate change is real. But it doesn’t absolve leaders of misgovernance and under-investment in planning and infrastructure.

On the topic of excessive regulatory barriers to construction… this ‘park’ in Friendship Heights has been finished for about a year now, it is the size of a generous backyard and its most dangerous feature is a pergola. Still closed pending a county permit.

People keep retweeting this, but surely the headline is flat wrong. Lots of people buy books! They just all buy the same books.

Indeed. Climate change is real. But it doesn’t absolve leaders of misgovernance and under-investment in planning and infrastructure.
Noted that global coverage of the deadly flooding in Kenya, Tanzania, and Burundi is centered on climate change as a driver, whereas local reporting is mostly focused on lack of flood mitigation, deforestation, and adequate funding for infrastructure. There's a lesson there...
I can't believe I missed this brilliant thread of last January (blame Elon M -- I laid off for a while) -- so good on what makes @CGDev special. Thank you @charlesjkenny
CGD is looking for a new president. Here’s why (I think) you should be applying, which I hope reflects the kind of people (I think) we want. Note CGD doesn’t have institutional positions (see below) –so maybe other people here see/want something different :-).
.@charlesjkenny (@CGDev) identifies why Biden’s “Build Back Better World” initiative has performed poorly in comparison to China’s Belt and Road Initiative: “Wrong financing tools” and the ineffective reliance on private investment. #GWChina24
I like this: CGD staff past and present write a lot of high-citation, "policy-relevant academic" articles on development topics. What I put in quotation marks is a rare combination.
Maybe more, the community is driven by how we approach our work. We value rigorous research on what will make the difference for development. CGD staff past and present write a lot of high-citation, policy-relevant academic articles on development topics.
Some brutal stats on work and life after cancer. Happy to be still doing my thing @CGDev, 18 months after my chemotherapy finished.

Yes, so much of western history is a story of the weak running roughshod over the strong. Like, for example, the time when... when, um, when...
The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”. If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.
There's so much great scholarship by Brazilian researchers in Portuguese that I've sometimes wondered if I could make a whole career just by blogging and synthesizing in English about lessons from Brazil that have relevance for other countries.
