Let's see how ~econ did this past month.

Top Posts

@SimpleStacker holds down the top spot, but @didiplaywell and myself managed to crack the top 3.
  1. Pleb Economist #8: What game theory can teach us about Bitcoin and self-custody
  2. How People Experiences The Path Towards Hyperinflation
  3. Minimalism is Pro-Social
  4. Sin Taxes: For European Welfare and Nannyism (The Economist, Charlemagne)
  5. The Bond Maths Isn't Mathing Anymore (FT, Philip Coggan)

We're still going strong, although our numbers dipped a bit. I wasn't able to be quite as active as normal and our workhorse has been on sabbatical.
To get back on track, we need more Indian content.

Yup. Econ is too American centric. No one cares about that failing super power.
reply
I agree — Just Too Trump centric actually!
reply
None of the top 5 are about Trump. That's borderline miraculous.
reply
Can you also count the number of posts that are about US and Trump?
reply
In the top 5, yes. It's zero.
I don't know why you and @grayruby are whining about lack of coverage when you're essentially our regional beat writers.
reply
Mind it when you call Canada and India regions! Canada is much bigger than USA and to remind you India is the largest Nation in the world.
reply
Then it should be easy to find interesting stories to post about.
reply
Yes always!
The most interesting stories in ~econ have come from India...and look at my contribution in about a year...it's massive.
Don't underestimate me and @grayruby

Why communism doesn't work, eh!?

Maybe you'll get to write the next first person account of going through hyperinflation.
