James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds, writes about the paradox of complexity and consumer choice in a recent New Yorker column: A recent study by a trio of marketing academics found that when consumers were given a choice of three models, of varying complexity, of a digital device...

Removing The Login Barrier
Dare Obasanjo's May 26th thoughts on the facebook platform contained a number of links to the Facebook API documentation. At the time, clicking through to any of the Facebook API links resulted in a login dialog: It struck me as incredibly odd that I had to login just to look at API document...

Background Compilation and Background Spell Checking
Dennis Forbes took issue with my recent post on C# and the Compilation Tax, offering this criticism, pointedly titled "Beginners and Hacks": Sometimes [background compilation and edit and continue] are there to coddle a beginner, carefully keeping them within the painted lines and away from t...

Gates and Jobs, Then and Now
If you didn't get a chance to watch today's historic interview between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, you should. Finally seeing these two computer industry giants on stage interacting with each other was fascinating and at times even a little touching. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates Prologue Steve Jo...

Let's Build a Grid
Khoi Vinh, the design director for the New York Times, explains how essential grids are to web design in his SXSW presentation with Mark Boulton, Grids Are Good (Right?). So much web design work relies on establishing a grid and the constraints on that grid: ad sizes, display size, browser dis...

Another U-curve in economic development
During the course of research my co-author Maggie McMillan and I were doing on broad patterns of structural change, our research assistant Inigo Verduzco stumbled on an interesting stylized fact that is captured in the figure below. What it shows is that the relative productivity of agricultur...
Interesting post. I really enjoyed reading it.

“So, Professor, what does your book tell us about the uprisings in the Middle East?”
The honest answer is: “Well, not all that much.” But try saying that in response to the first question that your interlocutor asks you on a radio interview that your publisher’s publicist has arranged for you. You mumble instead something about how despite globalization, we have not all become “...
Good post. I LOVE IT.

More on growth-reducing structural change
In an earlier post, I presented some preliminary results on what I called “growth-reducing structural change.” This refers to the highly anomalous and puzzling phenomenon whereby labor moves from high- to low-productivity activities. In joint work with Maggie McMillan (Tufts and IFPRI) we have n...
Good post. I'm looking forward to your following up post on this issue.

The Turkish prosecutors’ pyramid scheme
Another bizarre set of police roundups today in Turkey: eleven people, mostly journalists, were subject to early morning house searches and reportedly issued arrest warrants. Among those caught in the net is Nedim Şener, an award-winning reporter, who has done more than anyone else to shed ligh...

When economic development shifts into reverse gear
Developing countries' economies are a mish-mash, combining the productive with the unproductive, the First World with the Third. But why are some developing countries able to shift workers from low-productivity activities to higher-productivity sectors, whereas others have seen labor flowing in ...

Another nice review of The Globalization Paradox
This one comes from Bob Kuttner of The American Prospect. [Rodrik’s] new book, The Globalization Paradox, is simply the best recent treatment of the globalization dilemma that I've read, by an economist or anyone else. The paradox of his title is the fact that markets need states, but states ar...

Some recent book reviews
Matt Yglesias thinks The Globalization Paradox is “a pretty good book lurking behind a terrible framing device.” Hmmm. I guess that’s better than the other way around. Good to see that some of his readers find the device pretty useful in thinking about what Greece, for instance, is going thro...

How do you make an unpublished book disappear?
The absurdities of the Ergenekon investigation in Turkey have reached even greater heights. Now investigators are after every single copy of a draft book by the journalist Ahmet Şık (titled The Imam’s Army), which reportedly describes infiltration of the police and judiciary by Fethullah Gülen’...
