Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 Ep2: How can African cities pay for stuff?
Q: You've also written about reform in the Philippines. What were the successful institutional ingredients there?
The Philippines differentiated city types by size and creditworthiness, directing larger cities to borrow on markets, mid-sized cities to local intermediaries, and smaller ones to national transfers, supported by municipal funds, local guarantee units, and local credit ratings.
S3 Ep2: How can African cities pay for stuff?
Q: To start, can you explain where cities generally sit within the state in Africa? When we say a city government in the African context, what are we actually talking about?
Cities are legally recognized entities with responsibilities for infrastructure and services, but they often lack the powers to raise money, creating a gap between what they must deliver and what they can fund.
S2 Ep6: How does technology diffuse?
Q: What are the top things that we're getting wrong today about how long diffusion takes?
Many people believe new technologies will change life instantaneously, but history shows that change typically occurs more slowly than anticipated.
S2 Ep6: How does technology diffuse?
Q: What does it mean for China to be a global hub of innovation?
China's emergence as a global hub for innovation is marked by unprecedented growth in venture capital investment and significant impacts on entrepreneurship both domestically and abroad.
S2 Ep6: How does technology diffuse?
Q: How relevant do you think findings on past technologies are for AI?
Findings on past technologies may have clear relevance for AI, particularly regarding geographic concentration and the slow spread of high-end jobs over time.
