An executive program on New Thinking on Growth and Development

I have been spending much of this week (well sort of; those who know me better know that I have had much more important things to take care of this week...) teaching in an executive program that the Center for International Development at Harvard runs for economists at the World Bank and other multilateral organizations. Ricardo Hausmann, Rohini Pande, Chuck Sabel (from Columbia), Abhijit Banerjee, and Sendhil Mullanaithan are some of the other faculty who teach in this weeklong program. The attendees are fairly senior people, so the discussions are lively. I am amazed at how some of the new thinking on self-discovery, growth diagnostics, binding contrains, and experimentation is being absorbed within the World Bank and the donor community more generally. But the question is: can you really practice "different strokes for different folks" in institutions that are used to uniformity?

I'd rather be a rich person in a poor country. It seems to me that regardless of how poor a nation may be, the rich members of society are extremely wealthy, and have little to envy about the position of their counterparts in other lands.

Forgetting a special event like a birthday or an anniversary can be a disaster that will take a long time to overcome. Those disasters can be avoided just by having the capacity to have flowers delivered on the same day. Not only will they be happy because you were able to actually remember the occasion, but you will be happy because you figured out just in time how to sty out of the dog house!

I might be over simplifying things (I'm aware of that), but i think the basics for self discovery and the will for contributing starts within. From a girl's point of view, that would be feeling good with myself and have a great pair of shoes, lol :)
