Here are a few of the blogs and articles we have been reading this week:

- Barbara Ehrenreich: Poverty is becoming a crime, almost literally.
- Foreign Policy on culture matters, but it changes faster than you think.
- David Roodman blogs about: Working Papers ARE Working---And Will Work Better If They Show Their Work.
- A scientific study from the World Bank’s David Mckenzie and Berk Ozler: The impact of economics blogs.
Editor's Note:
If you were hoping that the faiV would be a pleasant distraction from the overwhelming flow of AI-related content, sorry. For the record, the faiV had “ai” built in before Anthropic existed. And a housekeeping note: we’ve finally jumped ship from Mailchimp to NYU’s mailing platform—I guess if you’re reading this it’s been a seamless transition and if you’re not, well, you’re not. Feedback on the faiV’s content and format and delivery methods is always welcome, just drop me an email.
