This was supposed to be my next post, but I was motivated to write something else the other day. People on the Internet often ask where I live. Legitimate question since the person I am interacting with can be anywhere in the world with Internet access (note the caveat to the standard “anywhere in the world”). My response is “150 miles due north of Manhattan.” It’s also a question I am curious to ask. I have done a fair amount of travelling. My doctoral dissertation used a geographical theory about markets to explain the long-term political consequences of China’s economic reforms in the early 1980s. I even created a class called “The Politics of Geography.” Usually, I know something about where someone lives.
