This reminds me of a local grifter who was on a board with me and often bragged about his LSE degree in Econ. I was suspicious because he displayed ignorance of some Micro 101 basics

Anyway, I finally challenged him, asking how he could have a degree in Econ from anywhere, let alone LSE. So he confessed he has a degree from "a" London school of economics, not "the" LSE. Not only that, a mail-order degree.

Which is also where his PhD in divinity came from, but gotta give credit where it's due, that grifter leveraged mail order degrees into a church sinecure & would have been safe if he hadn't embezzled from a city-funded program for people in need

Finally, push back from appropriately qualified team from the right background on that Suri and Jack article on Mpesa solves poverty that I'd questioned when it first came out. Here's a properly researched rebuttal worth reading, and thinking about. developingeconomics.org/2019/06/14/the…

1/ "Summarise recent article entitled ‘Is Fin-tech the New Panacea for Poverty Alleviation and Local Development?’ (Bateman, Duvendack, and Loubere, 2019), which challenges Suri and Jack’s findings, and urges global devt community to take a more critical look at their study. "

2/ "We argue that the article contains a worrying number of omissions, errors, inconsistencies, and that it also employs flawed methodologies. 👉Unfortunately, their inevitably flawed conclusions have served to legitimise and strengthen a false narrative ... 1/2

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...

@theroots

I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)

@jessebdylan

Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."
