Thread👇 on research by @belindaarch and @nonso2 on short- and long-run effects of prisoner labor in British colonial Nigeria @belindaarch/1275520128302624769

Many interesting things in this paper; the economic history of prison labor is *incredibly* important. (@shane_bauer’s fantastic book about American prisons helped me understand this in the US context.) @lukestein/1142112994324811776

I’m also intrigued by the role that reduced trust in potentially positive contemporary institutions (here legal; in my FSB paper, banking) could play in creating long-term harms. @lukestein/1227078512625848322
