Ep 82: Invisible Infrastructure
A policy that works in one country often cannot simply be transplanted onto another. The invisible infrastructure that is needed to make it work may not exist.
But what is this invisible infrastructure? Why is it invisible? Why do specialists often get it wrong? Why is everything everything?
Welcome to Episode 82 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.
In this episode, Ajay elaborates on his frequent exhortation that before we talk about policy, we must consider the invisible infrastructure that will determine its success or failure.
