Getting back here after 3 years. Hope it gains traction now..

My bad luck follows me, even Sydney has terrible air today because of the bushfires in NSW.
Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson is a work of genius. Should be a mandatory read for students of politics/ economics/ history, actually for just about anyone. Take a scythe through the geological/ evolutionary reasons for backwardness as made popular by Jared Diamond.#books #introduction
