Bumpy Roads & Better Government

Ed Glaeser, a ‪@harvard‬ economist specializing in cities and infrastructure, emphasizes the importance of everyday infrastructure, such as road quality, in improving the daily lives of millions. Using vertical acceleration data from Uber rides, he quantifies the costs of bumpy roads, revealing significant disparities in infrastructure quality across different neighborhoods. Glaeser argues that enhancing basic services and focusing on better governance can lead to substantial improvements in public welfare, moving beyond the debate of bigger versus smaller government to more effective governance.​​

You've got to be joking. Bumpy roads int the US has to be the least important economic issue that INET has ever covered. Once poverty, unemployment, underemployment and economic exploitation and a zillion other more pressing problems have been solved, we should perhaps have a brief economic discussion about bumpy roads. What drivel!! Anything to distract and deflect from important issues.

Ed and maybe two of his PhD advisees find what he's saying intelligent. He sounds like he's preparing for a management consultant interview.
