I’d be interested in learning more on how to have the biggest impact when one wants to work towards systemic change: What are examples of EA or non-EA orgs who deliberately and successfully caused systemic change? What can we learn from those? Are there strategies/​approaches that work particularly well?
And I am also curious about how one estimates the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed towards systemic changes. I suspect the reason systemic change as a cause area is less visible in EA is because it is hard to measure. But work against global catastrophic risks show that interventions can be hard to measure and still be judged as effective. So that alone shouldn’t be enough to rule it out. But it probably helps to be able to make more precise predictions for the cost-effectiveness of systemic change intervention. So how do we get better at that? Is there research about that?
