THREAD📢: I got a call today from a guy named Parker in Massachusetts. He wanted to tell me about a phone call he’d received not too long ago from Support America’s Police PAC.
The voice on the other end of Parker’s line was very persuasive. Aggressive. Convincing. The voice sounded like a human, but he realized after a while that he was talking to a very lifelike robot. supportleousa.org
Parker hung up and went down a rabbit hole to find out who was behind the phone call. He soon learned that Support America’s Police PAC is run by a man named Oliver Cappleman. olliecappleman.com
90 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty and the country is essentially bankrupt not because we don’t have brilliant economists, but because our politics and leadership are a grand fraud. Prosperity requires nationhood, first, followed by strong, effective institutions.
Without strong political institutions we can’t have strong economic institutions that can set up equal opportunity for wealth creation. If we don’t restructure a big, diverse country constitutionally back to real federalism, Nigeria can neither be stable nor prosper.
The interplay between political foundations, governance and institutions on the one hand and the marketplace on the other, is called political economy. For developing countries getting this right,not abstract economic equations, is the key to the wealth of nations. #EndofStory
