I really like that you separated out a cluster of related beliefs in the ‘long-term’ and ‘short-term’ camps. I don’t think the book ‘Why Nations Fail’ is that exciting, but I am happy to see someone trying to more concretely define the clusters of beliefs under ‘long-term’ and ‘short-term’. It also explains why EAs who focus on climate change from a global poverty perspective are often called ‘short-termist’.
