The Infant Learner

Some stuff I read this week:

A.  This Week’s Special:- 

Applied Economics: The Arvind Subramanian Way

Arvind Subramanian is the Chief Economic Advisor to the government of India. He was Assistant Director in the Research Department of the IMF, served at the GATT, and taught at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and at Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. In 2011, Foreign Policy Magazine named him one of the top 100 global thinkers. He obtained his undergraduate degree from St. Stephens College, Delhi; MBA from IIM, Ahmedabad; and M.Phil. and D.Phil. from the University of Oxford, UK.

Recently he has taken time off from his regular schedule to hold classes for a week (June 11 – June 17) on applied economics at IIT Delhi. His classes are part of the ‘Summer School for Economics Teachers’, a seven-day programme organised by the ministries of finance and human resource development to popularize open online courses.Picture1

“I read everything: annual reports, 10k’s, 10q’s, biographies, histories, five newspapers a day. On airplanes, I read the instructions on the backs of seats. Reading is key. Reading has made me rich over time” – Warren Buffett

“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you” – Charlie Munger

You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better”-  Carol Dweck
