Joel Mokyr just won the Nobel — what full-circle moment for me! Back in 2018–19, my sophomore thesis on the political economy of innovation (published in 2020) cited him twice. I may study other things now, but I’m still a Mokyr reader at heart.

Tonight I had my very first lecture by a Nobel laureate — Claudia Goldin (‘67) at Cornell.

Back when I thought of becoming an economic historian, her work was among the most important I read. And her famous blind auditions experimental study inspired my own interest in experiments.

The most disturbing fact about Nord-Ost I learned later is that unconscious people were loaded into buses (due to a lack of ambulances). Many died from suffocation while lying on their backs, as rescuers weren’t instructed on aiding victims of the secret gas.

“I cannot stand the idea of being a Russia specialist” - sounds like Moore said everything for me ahaha

Book thrifting in Ithaca went so productive, especially excited about Chayanov’s “Theory of Peasant Economy”
