Friends with Benefits the Pyramid Scheme. (Patron-client networks in developing countries)
Channel: blobMetropolis
Date: 2021-10-23

Today I'm trying a podcast rather than a full animated video, although I will still be doing both it just lets me get content out a little quicker and make some longer-form stuff. The episode is based on a paper by Mushtaq Khan exploring why paitron-client networks often dominate both democratic and authoritarian politics in developing countries.
