This passage is really critical. And something that modern academia will, sooner rather than later, have to deal with.

Let me stress that someone from the social sciences with interest in science and technology might have still fallen for the paper. But some weird aspects would definitively have come up (from the link above).

Our age and the next couple of decades are going to be defined by climate change and technological change. Do prominent professors in the social sciences (economics, sociology, political science, etc.) want to keep approaching technology as a "black box"'?

And the paradox is that some simple measures to support those communities that lost out from globalization would have been orders of magnitude cheaper and simpler than what solving the current mess will require.

This is really the key point. As I tell my students: we do not live in the Hechscher-Ohlin or in the Cobb-Douglas Douglas world where resources can be easily re-allocated to different industries with no or little “friction”.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to give a presentation at the European Central Bank about European defense. The discussion was very interesting and enriching. Here are a couple of points that I made during & after the presentation:

For those who wonder, this relatively unknown books helps understand what the US is trying to achieve with its tariffs. Of course, things are much more complicated, but the US, in virtue of the size and dynamism of its economy, has the "go-it-alone" power, as the author calls it.

Importantly, our findings also question a strand of research that has received significant attention, namely that the mechanization of armies (i.e., reliance on armored vehicles) causes counterinsurgency defeats. cambridge.org/core/journal...

So what do we find, you will need to read the methodological section to make sense of the statistical results. Bottom line, insurgent firepower is statistically associated with the defeat of counterinsurgency forces, also when controlling for multiple variables.
