Economic Complexity

August 26, 2023 | Why do some countries become rich while others stagnate? Can you predict which countries will become wealthy in advance? According to Harvard professor Ricardo Hausmann, the “complexity” of a nation's domestic economy may hold the answers.

Winners and Losers

July 1, 2024 | The second half of the year is underway. Somehow, it’s already the start of the third quarter after a very strong first six months in 2024. Here’s a quick recap of the gains year-to-date.

Exposing Corporate Misconduct

June 30, 2024 | When Edwin Dorsey published a deep dive about The Joint Corp., a nationwide network of chiropractors, the company was valued at $1.39 billion. Its shares had recently run up about 3,500%, trading at roughly 80x profit.
