Development economics has gradually become dominated by the idea that 'microinterventions' will solve global poverty. It's a dangerous idea because, well, it doesn't solve global poverty. In this article in the FT, David Pilling (@davidpilling) criticises this idea really well. He rightly argues that the route out of poverty is not through micro-entrepreneurship, smallholder farming, or microfinance. It's through large-scale job creation, business development, and productivity growth. ft.com/content/90b13a…

I loved summiting Mt Kenya but isn't it time to decolonize these names? - Delamere Peak - Krapf - Thomson - Macmillan - Lake Ellis - Lake Michaelson - Mackinders Camp What did the Kikuyu, Meru & Embu people call these places before the white man?

Just wanted to take a moment to share an important life update with all of you who have been here through thick and thin, probably unaware of the heavy struggle I've been dealing with offline. I closed fifteen of the 700 tabs open on my computer today *after* reading them.

10) Mis-measuring Our Lives: Why the GDP Doesn't Add Up - with Joseph Stiglitz and Jean-Paul Fitoussi GDP gets a lot of criticism, some warranted. This great work re-examines GDP, focusing on: undercounting production, quality of life, and environmental sustainability.
