Dr @LaversTom (GDI) presented his much-anticipated book, “Ethiopia’s ‘Developmental State’: Political Order and Distributive Crisis”, at the #SOAS Development Studies seminar.
Ethiopia is a standout example of state-led development in Africa. Dr Lavers’ work provides a comprehensive, multi-sectoral analysis of Ethiopia's development initiatives, charting the rise and fall of its ‘developmental state’, while exploring how regimes sustain power over long periods in the pursuit of economic transformation.

BYD's manufacturing operations are highly automated, yet they create thousands of jobs.
This is in line with evidence elsewhere too. I know it sounds paradoxical, but automation tends to have a net positive effect on job creation.
BYD Thailand plant: 10,000 jobs
BYD Mexico plant: expected 10,000 jobs
BYD Turkey plant: expected 5,000 direct jobs
BYD Hungary plant: thousands of workers
BYD Brazil plants: expected 5,000 jobs
BYD’s EV factories are highly automated. Yet they seem to create thousands of jobs.

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶
