    There’s been much discussion in recent days about Economics’ race problem. Some of what has come out is quite disturbing. I have not said much, but I have listened and thought. Here are a few reflections I want to add. +

    My new paper with @JosephEStiglitz argues that developing economies are at a turning point and need a new growth strategy based on green investment, labor-absorbing services, and new "industrial" policies focused on these two areas drodrik.scholar.harvard.edu/publications/n…
