Ideas Untrapped

DEVELOPMENT AND CAPABILITY

July 2, 2021

It was enlightening as expected to talk to Harvard professor of economic development Ricardo Hausmann. He has a refreshing take on all of my questions - and I believe he is one of the most important thinkers on development ever. You can check out some of his work for Harvard’s CID Growth Lab (where he is the Director) here - you can also find many of his lectures on Youtube.

You can listen and download directly on the website or simply search for the podcast on any of your preferred platforms (Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, etc). I wrote a companion essay discussing the core of Ricardo’s ideas, through the lens of the evolution of the popular ideas in development in recent past decades. The essay is only available to paying subscribers - it is also available to our patrons on Patreon or here. You can support the work my team and I do by becoming a paying subscriber or through Patreon.
