I wrote this for @phenomenalworld.bsky.social on the politics of Peru's growth model in the wake of Fujimori's election. The "Peruvian Model" is praised for resilient macro stability amid political turmoil — but I focus on its downsides: how it blocks structural change and hollows out democracy.

Even after two world wars and a century of upheaval, wealth in 🇩🇪 shows strong persistence. About 8% of today’s top fortunes trace back to the early 1900s: 82 of the richest families today were already among the richest in 1913, challenging the idea of a fully meritocratic elite.
