This is what i believe. It's going to be fun to capture and describe this.

I must say this is actually baffling that this paper was 37 years ago and they didn't even take his concluding advice at all. Because they continue to this very day apply the same flawed statistical metrics

There is no economy in the world more misunderstood and misrepresented than the Somali economy.

I definitely think the study of somalia's political economy will definitely takeoff in the coming years its obvious that something that none of the current theories or models capture is happening in somalia.

You also see this slow turn towards study trade or coming at the study of somalia's poltical economy from angles like "connectivity" which is really just the flow of goods and capital across somalia.

Interesting, but i feel still some of their understanding is kinda surface level and it often just leads them to create faulty assumptions and conclusions.

We really haven't seen any studies approach things like the 1988 Vali Jamal did in questioning and scrutinizing whats presented out there and repeated in common discourse. That one study 37 years ago nonetheless can form as a primary reference base to approach things from because much of what is presented in it apply today.
