  • lol.

  • Lol..farmers in Kenya are very mischievous...the gov't ought to give them free fertilizer....their land is overused growing one or two crops over the years

  • All sciences are value-laden. We have limited resources to investigate the world. No physicist would turn down a job working on a nuclear reactor becuase that was 'directed' physics, or not 'pure' physics.

    Why is there even a question of whether development economics is an applied science? The Chicago school still, obviously, has an agenda; their agenda is to justify do nothing and believe that by doing nothing we are actually doing the best thing. How is that positivist?!
