1. Awesome Pictures from Afghanistan HT: Texas in Africa
2. Sam Bowles on the similarity between hunter-gatherer economies and the modern knowledge economy. Sam Bowles is very cool. He does Marxist economics with neo-classical tools.
3. A challenge to the economics of happiness from Feministx: The paradox of enslaved female happiness (via Marginal Revolution)
4. Phelps on economics, innovation and morality
5. Owen invites aidwatchers to, "as a development community, heap scorn and opprobrium on anyone caught advocating for more resources in their sector. We need stronger social norms in development that frown upon this kind of anti-social behaviour."
