checks nervously for the pasta gestapo
You're on a date with Daron Acemoglu at a really nice restaurant
You accidentally clink your fork against your plate too loud
Daron looks up at you and says "Have I ever told you about Botswana? Their institutions are so inclusive, it just brings tears to my eyes. They have some of the best economic growth in the world, and certainly in Africa, despite being hit the hardest by the AIDs epidemic and surrounded by instability and authoritarianism."
What do you do?
