What one needs to build a tech unicorn: A dream, some employees and lots of AI hype
AI promises to let startups do more with fewer people, but the plunge in unicorn headcounts may owe as much to VC hype as to real productivity gains. Is the world’s first solo unicorn not too far away? In some ways, it’s already happened.

Dani Rodrik: Artificial intelligence was meant to assist human work, not replace our thinking
AI’s impact on jobs is a valid concern, but a bigger risk looms: its takeover of human thought. Letting AI do our brain-work will atrophy our ability to think and incentive to learn. We need norms that will help us harness its power without losing our capacity to expand and use knowledge.

Casualty of war: A country whose leader needs to keep claiming victory is unlikely to be winning
Trump has declared victory in his war with Iran umpteen times, but his notion of a win may reflect an American idea of it: had the US taken the hard blows Iran did, it would’ve fallen apart. But the Iranian state has survived and America might be losing what’s not on the battlefield.

IMF's World Economic Outlook: India may fare better than the world but that’s no reason to celebrate
The IMF now expects global growth to slow in 2026, with the Iran war having upset its previous projections, but it has nudged up India’s GDP forecast for fiscal 2026-27. Reassuring as this may be, we face enough risks for New Delhi not to let its policy guard down.

India’s labour codes promise flexibility and growth—but they miss a safety net for layoffs. Existing state-level schemes has proven ineffective while market failures like adverse selection and moral hazard keep private insurers out. Here’s what we can learn from other models to get it right.

The US blockade of Hormuz seems aimed at China too. Here's why it's unlikely to work
While the US decision to block access to Iranian ports aims to clamp Iran’s oil and gas exports, it’s China that will lose some of its supply. The People’s Republic has vast buffer stocks, though. So if America’s ploy is to have Beijing lean on Tehran, it looks like a non-starter.

How the word ‘impact’ has adverse effects—and why honest language matters in the social sector
The social sector is suffused with the term ‘impact’, thanks largely to the force of habit. Donors use it and so do non-profit organizations. But how we use language matters, for it shapes how we think. And we mustn’t imply a direct causality where there isn’t.

Clean energy reduces hydrocarbon dependence but that’s unlikely to make the world more peaceful
A green shift away from hydrocarbons may reduce reliance on oil and thus chokepoints like Hormuz, but it won’t necessarily end energy wars. As nations chase self-sufficiency and strategic autonomy, the clean-energy transition could even reshape rivalries in ways that make conflict more likely.
