In this episode, we interview Garett Jones, an economist at George Mason University Our discussion, initially aimed at Garett's latest book The Culture Transplant ends up delving into themes across his works - IQ as an externality, mechanisms that drive institutional quality, cultural persistence in immigrant diasporas, theories of assimilation and more. We also take a ambitious short detour to speculate on Singapore's secret to success.
Here are links to Garett's books, all of which we couldn't put down:
The Culture Transplant
10% Less Democracy
The Hive Mind
