✨Did markets make Americans more cooperative❓🔍
✅YES‼️
Between 1850 and 1920, the US became the largest and most integrated economy in the world 📶🌎
We show that this shift didn’t just move goods and affect prices—it fundamentally changed culture and behavior

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc.
In a word: Harvard.
Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard.

Going to give this website a try - with a new profile picture! Definitely feels like an econ bubble, but I guess that’s the point.
Expect a thread on my newest work, Malthusian Migrations (with @romainwacziarg.bsky.social), soon! 🚨
