This week we have a @broadstreetblog.bsky.social post by @markkoyama.bsky.social, discussing the new edition of the Handbook of New Institutional Economics! www.broadstreet.blog/p/a-new-edit...

Excellent new Broadstreet post: as scholars of state capacity/bureaucracy we don't grapple enough with ideology/identity in state building. This paper offers both an empirical & theoretical contribution to the literature by taking on our understanding of "meritocracy" in Imperial China. Terrific!

New Broadstreet post by Peng Peng: Narratives of Imperial China as a meritocracy need a corrective. Using data from Qing dynasty she shows exams didn’t just determine who governed—they created a bureaucracy that was culturally & ideologically unified, raising questions about how we study meritocracy
