Great thread but one point needs to be corrected. The rapid job/wage growth of 1940s–70s was not the result of a tight labor market but the cause of it. It was strong unions and high rates of productive investment that created postwar prosperity and those should be the focus now.

Why are North & South India so different on gender? Is it due to... Poverty Colonialism Matriliny Cross-cousin marriage Conquests and purdah Labour-intensive cultivation Ancestral crop yields? draliceevans.com/post/why-are-s…
But this is speculation, utterly ungrounded in evidence of how people actually adopt more liberal beliefs. It fails to explain why wealthy families in Saudi Arabia fiercely oppose these values When we read ethnographies, we realise how “good governance” fosters gender equality
If you trust market regulation, courts & consumer protection, then you can be less reliant on family/ kin/ guanxi/ krugovaia poruka This is a really important way in which development & democratisation fosters progress towards gender equality.
How do we know that the causal mechanism is cousin marriage? Check out @DumanBRad’s new paper in the Journal of Development Economics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
But this is not insurmountable! Cousin marriage rates are highest in the Gulf. But rapid economic growth & labour indigenisation laws have meant that employers in Qatar & Kuwait have desperately needed & recruited women! Cue skyrocketing female employment!
And take one of the most violent groups in history! Which likely slaughtered most European men! The Yamnaya & Corded Ware They were certainly patrilineal & patriarchal It wasn’t their gender beliefs that propelled conquest! But their technological innovations! 🐎🐎⚔️🗡⚰️
Oh dear, look at this patrilineal country that closely policed female kin, with huge sex discrimination in practice & in law. It must be doomed to be poor forever…. Paging economists, what was South Korea’s growth like?
If you accept @TheEconomist’s argument then looked at 1970s Taiwan & South Korea, you’d predict TOTAL ECONOMIC FAILURE! - Girls had little economic autonomy; fathers signed factory contracts - HUGE gender pay gaps! - Son preference! - Sex discrimination in law! - VAW! And yet…
If you’re sceptical about the importance of growth for gender equality, check out my blog explaining how East Asia overtook South Asia draliceevans.com/post/how-did-e…
I’ve written a letter, correcting @TheEconomist. What do you think?
Tax the rich
If a thought fully comprehends its implementation, nothing can stop it from sweeping away the present universe and building a new one for itself. Nothing can keep us from seeking this thought. We are the monks mumbling syllables until we stumble on God's name and our world ends.
AI is a name for two different things: AI refers to the practice of configuring a service with an algorithm and a dataset. But AI is also a name for the thought that is completely congruent with itself.
