Name Change!
Ok, so I’ve been strong-armed into changing the name of the blog. By Andy Cassel, the Editor-in-Chief of Moody’s and author of Moody’s blog, Dismal Scientist.
Actually, Mr Cassel was very genteel about it. He asked me to change the name of the blog, and I did.
For now, the name of the blog is “Bootstraps”. I am deeply, deeply unsatisfied with this. I don’t even know what it means, except that I’ve been thinking about poverty and development lately, and the subject calls bootstraps to mind.
It is extremely difficult to come up with a meaningful, memorable name for an econ blog. However, I can do it, and I will do it.
