What I'm Reading This Weekend - July 7-8

Economy

  • This detailed Vox article explains what recent Supreme Court rulings at the end of this term mean for American business and the future of Antitrust. Economics nerds will enjoy the good examples of monopoly and monopsony here.
  • How do American workers fare compared to their counterparts across the world? Maybe not so well.

  • I’ve heard that in the housing industry, it’s a sellers’ market. Here are some details.
  • And here is the latest jobs report that came out this morning: Jobs up 213,000 but unemployment up to 4%. Read what that means.
