1. Measuring the quality of NBA defenders. And digitalizing NFL players. Both are interesting pieces. And don’t ridicule Manny Pacquiao.
3. Vermont, Gruber.
4. Paul Krugman on superstars and the economics of music. I think of the era of the music superstar as having peaked in the 1980s or so.
5. Old photos of old economists, lots of them. And the story behind the sale of the Kuznets medal.
