Knowledge is power. Below are links to knowledge we consider valuable, entertaining, or both.
FT World is the Financial Times' world news feed. Although we are based in the United States, the world (the U. S. included) is often a more interesting place when viewed from outside the U. S.
FT Alphaville, also from the Financial Times, provides regular updates from the hedge fund industry. It's yet another part of the financial world worthy of attention to our readers.
Paul Krugman is an American economist with a special focus on international trade, New York times columnist, and Nobel Prize Winner for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography. Even with those handicaps, he's very easy to read, with excellent, thoughtful comments on subjects of interest to readers in just about every country.
The New York Times is known as one of the world's great newspapers, with an international focus. We've found that their best articles show up on their "most e-mailed articles" list. Presumably, something found interesting by a large number of their readers is likely to be found interesting by you. Maybe not, but the odds are pretty good.
Zerohedge is a hedge fund website offering comments on world economic events. If you have a look, you'll probably see why we chose to include it.
