Three dead, 14 injured after shooting in Austin, Texas
U.S. and Israeli strikes against the Iranian regime and military threaten to upend the global oil market and send shock waves through the world economy.
The government of Qatar, one of the world’s biggest exporters of liquefied natural gas, urged shipowners to suspend maritime activities. Dozens of tankers diverted from the Persian Gulf in the early hours of the conflict. The U.S. Navy advised tanker companies to avoid nearby waters because it couldn’t guarantee their safety, according to an alert from an industry body.

The workplace can be a tricky place to navigate. Almost everything we do at work—identifying the experts, managing tough feedback from a boss, figuring out how to work in teams made up of different personalities—comes down to our ability to manage relationships. And to do so, we need savvy social skills.
Most employees acquire those skills over time—by learning from their nonwork relationships, watching how colleagues behave in the office, and by seeing what happens when they stumble in their own workplace interactions.

Professor Ha-Joon Chang is inspired by his passion for food to reflect on why economics matters – or, as he puts it, “a hungry economist explains the world”.
Omnibus of five episodes, where he zooms in on familiar foods:
* Garlic
* Bananas
* Okra
* Rye
* Chocolate
He uses the histories behind each – where they come from, how they’re cooked and consumed and what they mean to different cultures – to explore economic theories.
Witty and thought-provoking, Professor Chang sets out to challenge ideas about the free-market economy which he believes have been too easily accepted for decades.
Read by Arthur Lee.
*** Professor Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at SOAS University of London, and is one of the world’s leading economists. His books include Economics: The User’s Guide, Bad Samaritans and 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism.
*** Reader Arthur Lee is a British actor of Korean descent who made his international debut on HBO Cinemax’s Strike Back in 2015 and who recently appeared in Doctor Who. Arthur grew up mostly in London, but also spent several years in South Korea advancing his knowledge of Korean language and culture.
