Well, that didn’t take long. My ambition to post every single day in 2024 met its death in February itself. Even more irritating is the fact that I simply forgot to post, rather than it being a case of I not wanting to write.
Ah well, onwards.
Here are ten things I learnt for having posted every day (minus one) in February 2024:
- Somebody really should do a series on ranking India’s best crickets and India’s best economists, a la GOAT, by Tyler Cowen. You could end up making economics popular among cricketers, and cricket polar among economists, thereby proving that at least one of them is a non-zero sum game.
- I finally learnt about why we start our financial year on the 1st of April, via Sidin on Twitter.
- Only 3% of South Koreans identified family as giving them a major source of meaning(!)
- Writing three long-ish posts on Industrial Policy helped me understand the topic better, and hopefully it helped you as well. (First post is here, and the other two follow in order)
- More people should read Du Runsheng.
- AI moves faster than we expect, even after adjusting our expectations upwards…
- Delimitation and devolution will be issues that keep our democracy up this decade (a three part series, first part is here)
- It may be worth your while being clear about the difference between period and cohort based life expectancy measures.
- The book is out now, and I have no hesitation in recommending We The Citizens to all of you.
- How worried should we be that this was the most popular post this month?
