Our Weekly Economic News Roundup: From Mileage Metrics to Ethiopian Electricity

Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you. These are my e-links.

I am listening to a wonderful group of short stories. Having read, enjoyed, and appreciated everything about A Gentleman in Moscow, I found Amor Towles’s newest book also a delight. Composed of six short stories and a novella, Table for Two grabbed me immediately. Again taking me back to revolutionary Russia (and then New York), the first short story cleverly echoed history with a fun twist. I’ve now completed the second story and look forward to what will follow.
