It is hard to believe that less than four years ago, AVAX USDT was trading in the triple digits, at an all-time high of $158. Since that day in early 2022, Avalanche crypto has fallen by -91%, with today’s -4.2% drop the latest bloodbath for the Layer-1 blockchain project. During its height, AVAX was also a top 15 token by market cap, but has since dropped to 32nd, with a valuation of $5.3Bn, a fall from grace as the token was once valued at over $30Bn. A recent alliance with the US SEC has the Avalanche crypto community hoping that…

If you want to know what it was like to live in sev­en­teenth-cen­tu­ry Lon­don, read the diary of Samuel Pepys. While doing so, take note of his fre­quent ref­er­ences to the unclean­li­ness of the city’s streets: “very dirty and trou­ble­some to walk through,” “mighty dirty after the rain,” and dur­ing the large-scale rebuild­ing in the after­math of the Great Fire of 1666, “much built, yet very dirty and encum­bered.” If you want to know what it was like to live in nine­teenth-cen­tu­ry Lon­don, read Charles Dick­ens. How­ev­er much-lament­ed the dif­fi­cul­ties it presents to young read­ers, the open­ing of Bleak House remains high­ly…

As the world was mourning the antisemitic murders on the first night of Hannukkah in Australia and America’s all-too-common gun violence, this time at Brown University, further news of shocking violence emerged out of Hollywood that seemed almost impossible. Two bodies had been found at Rob Reiner’s home in Los Angeles, and the ages matched those of the famous director and his wife, Michelle Singer. As stories continued to circulate online about what actually happened, people started sharing clips and lines from Reiner films. The art overcame the tragedy. Not just art, history. Movies aren’t the same today without the…

President Trump’s detractors and defenders alike have cast his federal foray into local law enforcement as a revival of “broken windows” policing. But while Americans quarrel over deploying federal troops in city streets, the president has been busy applying a different type of broken windows theory to our nation’s trade policy.  In 1850, French satirist Frédéric Bastiat introduced – and promptly smashed – what economists call the “broken window fallacy.” Bastiat’s parable runs like this. Suppose a roving bandit smashes a shopkeeper’s window. The shopkeeper is devastated – this cruel deed will cost him $1,000. But the local mayor consoles him: “Don’t despair!…
