Some are asking me here about my views on different aspects of development goals.
My view is pretty much the view of Amartya Sen as he lays it out in Development as Freedom.
If you haven’t read it yet, I really recommend it.
It is the book that made me want to study economics. – source2022-04-22T21:18:03.000Z

2) As someone doing book edits rn it is incredibly healing. My man takes forever to say things & it's still great – source
