Cinco Esquinas: Mario Vargas Llosa.

Peruvian Nobel laureate Vargas Llosas shines some light on early nineties Lima: Alberto Fujimori, Sendero Luminosos and yellow journalism.

THE EURO
How a common currency threatens the future of Europe

JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ

From the preface:

Thus, while this book is aimed at the critical question of the euro, its reach is broader: to show how even well-intentioned efforts at economic integration can backfire when questionable economic doctrines, shaped more by ideology and interests than by evidence and economic science, drive the agenda.

I've been reading 102 Minutes: Surviving the Twin Tower Attack.


This was a hard read. What those people went through was so horrific I could hardly read more than a page or two at a time.
