    As we witness the internecine polarized tribal hatreds and declines of Western democracies, this is interesting to see in other parts of the world. Not to read too much into this.

    Education is extremely important.

      We’ve become myopically focused on government as the driver of prosperity.

      I’ve always seen the right’s role as expanding the pie and the left’s role as distributing it.

      Now both are focused on distributing it - and no one is paying attention to fostering the pipeline of talented citizens to actually do the work.

      I think it’s a cultural problem as well. We take it for granted that our elite institutions will remain elite.
