If your barometer for a country’s success is how many gold medals we get at the posh people’s Olympics, and not like, actual levels of poverty and the immiseration of the working classes, then I have some magic beans I can sell you

An interesting take, if only because it highlights the university as the major anchor institution for growth. Add in the massive public transport investment and what we have is big case for urban socialist democracy. But… /1
