The charter of African Economic Development

Growth, institutions and infrastructure, argued from the continent.

Claims about magnitudes need a source. Country cases are preferred to continental generalisations. We read one book a quarter and invite its critics rather than its author.

House rules

  1. 1

    Argue with the strongest version of the other position, not the most convenient one.

  2. 2

    A claim about magnitudes needs a source; a claim about motives needs restraint.

  3. 3

    Changing your mind in public is the highest-status act in this circle.

  4. 4

    Threads that stop being about the idea get closed or moved — not deleted.
