1. In fashion, the copyists are winning right now.

2. Another defense of the early Progressives on race and eugenics.

3. “Venture capitalists think they have an answer to the growing housing crunch in San Francisco and other big cities across the U.S.: adult dorms.“(WSJ)

4. Should Putin consider nationalizing Russian oil and gas assets?

5. New MRU “Office Hours” video on calculating monopoly profits. And first ever movie trailer for an economics paper. My favorite bit is towards the end, when the referee reports are cited.

6. “White storks are addicted to junk food and make round-trips of almost 100km to get their fix“
