The Nobel for Econsplaining

Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson won a prize for applying economics to the very things economics is inherently bad at figuring out

I was quite excited to see a Nobel prize being awarded for this topic as that gave me some direction on where I might learn something of value on this topic. I picked up copies of Why Nations Fail and Power and Progress. I'm starting with the Power and Progress, which so far I like. I'll save this article for after I read Why Nations Fail 😄

  Thanks!
liberal propagandist wins fake prize

It's funny how mathematicians winning the Field Medal never feel the need to pretend they won a Nobel Prize
