Why, across history, have great civilisations tumbled? How do we prevent our own civilisation suffering the same fate? & what do women have to do with it? Thanks to @ArthurLewisLab @OfficialUoM for making my Hajnal Prize Lecture available online youtube.com/watch?v=CSQe9P_Uโฆ #Economica

Founding and directing the @ArthurLewisLab, initially with the help of @gguillaumeblanc, then @YuzuruKumon, meant a lot to me.
This is the current core team. Yesterday we had the last seminar of the 2025-26 academic year.
I look forward to UF but it's a bittersweet move for sure!
