Fogel to Mokyr: "Economics must deal with economic history. For economics to work without economic history is like an evolutionary biologist without paleontology. If you don't have paleontology, you just missed 99,5% of all the species that existed." www.youtube.com/watch?v=__0s...

"Se a anistia de 1979 revelou-se depois indispensável para pacificar o país, afinal os militares ainda estavam no poder, repetir agora o perdão judicial a Bolsonaro e demais réus condenaria a uma instabilidade política que já parecia superada" 👇

We often think of transportation infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth. And that’s true. But it also has a big environmental footprint -- one that’s often underestimated.

The past really sticks.

Even after 4 generations, your great-grandfather’s economic status still largely shapes your own.

👉 33% persistence across time for whites
👉 But racial inequality is the key driver

The American Dream? More inherited than we thought.

My new paper on Imperial Brazil (1824–89). New price series, maritime freight, internal trade, exchange rates, and ToT. Real wages and GDP per capita show that growth est. are biased by the available price indices, which overstate inflation by 57–270%. Correction resolves the BR low-growth paradox.

Promulgada há 40 anos, a Emenda Constitucional nº 25 foi um marco para a redemocratização do Brasil. Ao garantir o voto aos analfabetos e liberar a reorganização de partidos, avançou nas duas dimensões básicas da democracia: inclusão e contestação. Minha coluna desta semana 👇

Who will be the first to write the history of that short-lived period that began in 1989 and ended in 2025? So much hope and opportunity, so much short-sighted and incompetent leadership on all sides, and such an ugly, tragic ending.
