Terribly incorrect to claim there are good dynasties. Political dynasties are never accountable to the public. #CNNPHVPDebate

From an economic perspective, there’s evidence that political dynasties worsen poverty.

Good governance? Doesn’t work either. ‘Political dynasties have deleterious effects in terms of the allocation of public goods.’

This presidential candidate reminds me of a thesis advisee I had in my very first year of teaching. She never showed up for any consultation. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Even after having been followed up several times. (1/n)

And then at the end of the sem she showed up during the defense itself. She was expecting that she would be given a chance to present her thesis. This happened in front of everyone else, who were surprised themselves. Because it was not fair to her peers, I did not budge. (2/n)

The next day the father, an influential government official, sends a lawyer.

I showed him the output the daughter wrote and gave him time to skim it.

And then I asked if it would pass muster with him. He said no and apologized to me. When he left I felt sorry for him. (3/n)
