I agree. I’m concerned about the same, and want to look at both
some of the evidence for myself; and
some of what others think, both through my new stack of books on development (from Abhijit & Banerjee to Acemoglu & Robinson to Jeffrey Sachs to Ha-Joon Chang—I’m excited!) and through conversations.
I just haven’t been able to do it yet, since I’m in the middle of an internship. That’s why I wrote this post with some first thoughts.

This sounds like a good battle plan! And do let us know what you finally decide on!
Oh, also I want to be clear that what I was concerned about is the broader structure of argument, rather than being critical of your post! :)
Any update here? Did you ever come to a conclusion on Hickel?
