On behalf of the Long Run Institute, we congratulate Sir Niall Ferguson, a friend of the LRI, on his elevation to the knighthood in the King's birthday honours. So well deserved. @Dr_LBM @ProfJohnTurner @judyzara hat tip to @yuanyi_z where we first read it!

Good presentation on situating AI in context... and history is the springboard for the discussion. "Data is the new oil" is a gr8 slogan, but history shows resource metaphors can be misleading. Oil fueled industrial revolutions, but data's impact is more nuanced. @LongInitiative

The AI governance challenge is a crowded space - it's a gold rush out there reminiscent of early days of past transformations. @RANDCorporation's deep understanding and methods - constantly nnovating them - is clear "signal" amidst noise. Thank you @JasonGMatheny @LongInitiative

My review of Adams' book on the finances of the Irish Revolution is out in the Journal of Economic History - bit.ly/3NlX13y
Fascinating account of how a nascent state must construct its own credit (goodwill) at home and abroad to gain financial sovereignty.
