What happens when you apply an almost-Marxist analysis to Ireland's economy but forget how anything actually works
War on Iran is changing the currency calculations of Gulf energy exporters. But the dollar’s global role depends on far more than the denomination of a barrel of oil
It was finally my turn to be the perfect guest. @tracyalloway.bsky.social got to ask about my dog and @weisenthal.bsky.social realized that if he were a 16th-century Saxon silver mine his coins would be called "weisenthaler."
