UNPACKING STATE CAPACITY

from Ideas Untrapped Hosted by Tobi Lawson

I learned a lot having this conversation with economic historian Mark Koyama. State Capacity has become an important concept to be understood - especially with the current economic and security problems Nigeria is currently dealing with. A lot of us are also reeling from the consequences of the decisions our governments made in responding to the global pandemic.
