Chick-fil-A

July 09, 2023 | Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, forgoing billions in sales. Yet the company has become wildly popular over the past couple of decades. Today, we'll discuss the incredible story of Chick-fil-A.

Fast-Growing Economy

July 08, 2023 | India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Its progress marks a significant shift in the global order, outpacing China in various aspects. The country is on track to become the most populous globally, with an estimated population of 1.42 billion in 2023.

Space Monopoly

July 07, 2023 | From Balloongate to semiconductor sanctions, 2023 hasn’t been a good year for relations between the U.S. and China. That has put an even bigger spotlight on U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit this week to China, which markets watched keenly for insights into how the two countries might interact going forward.

“Twitter Killer”

July 06, 2023 | Instagram, owned by Meta, has introduced Threads, a new app aimed at competing with Twitter.

Banking Giants

June 30, 2023 | It has been one heck of a run for Apple, both in 2023, the past decade, and since its founding in 1976 out of the Jobs family garage. The stock keeps rising, year after year, as it sells more and more iPhones globally.

Rearmament Reckoning

April 9, 2024 | War is, unfortunately, a big business. Despite tribal conflict seeming outdated in the 21st century, it remains an enduring aspect of the human experience. This means, unsurprisingly, that the “military-industrial complex” holds significant but often overlooked sway over economic activity.

New Gold Standard

April 8, 2024 | Long struggling to get inflation under control after money printing wrecked the Zimbabwe dollar’s value, the country of over 16 million is taking notes from the past, opting for a new gold-backed currency to restore economic order.
