   Among those paying attention are my colleagues at UNDP. The first order of business is what Thomas Piketty calls "social experimentation", in such a way that new economic thinking becomes relevant to the entire world and not just to rich countries in the Global North. And here I see a potential role for the UNDP Accelerator Labs. Like @pluralistic wrote (in "Walkaway", appropriately): "work needed doing and he could help. What more could he ask for?"

     THREAD 1/n

     After a long political economy winter, spring is here. Academic economists are producing not only new approaches (especially around value theory), but powerful economic policy innovations; decision makers, desperate for a way out of the current mess, are sitting up and paying attention. This is an exciting development, because – for once – the critique to economic theory comes with solid practical alternatives, that we could try out right away.
