RIP Dumbagent

Unfortunately it looks like we're closing the doors on Dumbagent.com. We had some weird deal that made it not worth the money to host it. All our material can be found on www.BringingSexyBacktoEconomics.com, courtesy of my sister, but we don't really have a plan going forward.

In the meantime I ran across these Economist articles, which I had planned on tweeting out or commenting on for DA, but won't be able to. So, now I need somewhere to park them. Basically these are the most interesting Economist articles from the past several months:
