This is THE question. It's also an old challenge in agricultural economics. It’s never fully "solved" because cultures are dynamic, but we can solve it in pieces through better design, policy, and market incentives. What we do at @DevEconX is treat pro-social adoption as a scalable distribution system rather than a cultural roll of the dice. We identify the exact data and infrastructure levers that trigger explosive adoption in developing (and developed) markets. It’s a commercial framework for a cultural problem.
Why do some cultures embrace new, superior technologies, while others refuse to embrace them? This is one of the most important unsolved questions in all of economics. noahpinion.blog/p/pizza-wheels…
We are so back.

People also have psychological shortcomings. This is also partly why development economics requires an industrial component.
If your success or failure is judged by other people, rather than by nature or free markets, you’re playing a game, albeit a reified and social one.
🇬🇭 The Black Star belongs to all of us. It's more than football; it's ambition, resilience, and the fact that we can achieve great things united. Today, we support the Black Stars. Tomorrow, we build Ghana. #BlackStars #Ghana #BringBackTheLove #DevelopmentEconomicsX 🇬🇭⭐️⚽️
🇬🇭 The Black Star belongs to all of us. More than a symbol of football, it represents ambition, resilience, and the belief that Ghana can achieve great things when we move forward together. Today, we stand behind the Black Stars. Tomorrow, we go on the "football pitch" in our own lives to help build the Ghana we deserve. One Nation. One Goal. One Star. #BlackStars #Ghana #BringBackTheLove #DevelopmentEconomicsX 🇬🇭⭐️⚽️
Development as action.
This is also why development economics research must be industrial in scope. @DevEconX.
The World Cup is the only sports tournament that can do this.
Some excited Norway fans were caught doing a “Viking Row” up an escalator en route to their nation’s first World Cup game in 28 years.

🇬🇭 “Every mother wants her child to be the best, and we are here to support you. All 30 million Ghanaians are behind you and believe in your success. Don’t let us down.” — Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang delivers an emotional message of encouragement to the Black
The World Cup is, in many ways, is one of the best social achievements in all human history. Soccer also has a lot of lessons that other sports could learn from.
I don't care much about soccer but I do like how it brings the world together.
It’s a great discussion to have, but I don’t believe that this is quite right. Technological and human learning have always been more complementary than substitutes. The university as we know it should look very different in the next 100 years, but the higher learning probably isn’t going anywhere as a concept. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and it will have to evolve to absorb some of the most complex forthcoming shocks it may have seen in centuries along the way. Exciting times, for sure.
Sergey Brin dropped out of Stanford's PhD program, became a billionaire, and was invited back to celebrate the school's 100th anniversary. He used the occasion to tell the Dean the university model might not survive the next hundred years. His argument is simple. Information
Nothing to worry about. They’ll just create a new slang, and that will be that.
To the next generation of kids: good luck finding usernames
The World Cup, ladies and gentlemen.
United Africa is long overdue.
Greater Switzerland would be an innovation powerhouse
Everything you ever wanted to know about the new economics of football, also known as soccer, but were afraid to ask from an economics research standpoint. Thread.

"Develop" is a verb. @DevEconX.
