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:

New Year Goal Achieved

Anyway, here is the proof of my first win ever:




Boom. 1 down. 7 more to go.

Books


Due to a poorly planned New Year's resolution, I can't read any books until I hit certain milestones. So I have a collection of books waiting for that day. If you also want to read any of these books, chances are we'll get along.
