After a nearly week long business trip, I'm back to the blog. This gap of 6 days was the longest blogging break I've taken since the start of the blog.  

I put up a review of Jim Roger's Adventure Capitalist in my Book Reviews section.  I *highly* recommend the book - it's probably particularly useful as something a book to hand to a "lay" audience because it skillfully makes important points about international economics in a very approachable, non-academic format.
