Hi Kaiser, I'm a big fan and I've learned a lot from your podcast over the last few years. (I also loved your brother's book!) Could you do a public service and put together a list of recommended accounts to follow here?

This is super useful, thanks. I'm going to share it with my students in Argentina who were learning about the Korean economic miracle just two weeks ago in my class. Korea is a fascinating case for other emerging economies to study, and this is an important reminder that the road is never smooth.

Brilliant story about a reported "determined" farmer, struggling in "very tough" conditions, protesting a new tax, who turns out to have spent his career as a stockbroker including a spell as chair of the London Stock Exchange.

Britain has seen no wage growth for 15 years - while remaining the most unequal large economy in Europe. This is what stagnation looks like. We need to end it www.resolutionfoundation.org/comment/an-e...

Interesting! Is there a literature on what explains how long empires, or indeed other polities, survive? I recently read about the Incas and the Romans. How one arranges succession is an obvious big variable, and I'm wondering if people have looked systematically at other variables?

I always understood that phrase to be a representation of English anti-intellectualism, rather than the more reasonable interpretation you give it, particularly because it came from the part of my family that was certainly both English and anti-intellectual.
