🌍 Amid renewed authoritarian expansion and democratic backsliding, historically accumulated and inherited coercive capacity constrains how states respond to dissent—shaping when repression persists and when reform or redistribution becomes possible. 👇

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Crazy idea. Stick with me. Politicians, but from unions. They already build coalitions, win elections, speak publicly, lead joint decision making, & negotiate for high stakes. Fewer lawyers & biz exec pols. More construction, health care, ed, manuf, transport... worker pols.

Papers authored by Black, Hispanic or Asian economists receive 5.1% to 9.6% fewer citations than those by White scholars. The citation gap is largely driven by homophily in citation patterns and racial clusters in networks (i.e., cite authors from own racial group). www.nber.org/papers/w33150

Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson have transformed economics by integrating institutions, their dynamics, and their effects on economic activities into the corpus of the discipline. This recognition was expected and reflects the significance of their work.
