Sorry for the slow blogging (slogging?) this week. We’ve been packing up all our earthly possessions in preparation for the arrival of the movers, who are currently carting everything off, leaving me to putter and surf the net. Here’s what I’ve been reading:

1. Afghanistan, Opium and the Taliban

2. The Trap by Daniel Brook

I’m going to have a lot more to say about this book, but for now, read this.

3. If unemployment’s so low, how come wages aren’t rising?
