My weekend reading and listening for June 10/11
Lech Blaine inside Australia’s political earthquake; Larry Summers on why US inflation is almost as bad as the 1970s and needs more Volcker-like reaction; Colbert on Jan 6; Matt Levine’s process
TLDR: This is another feature for paid subscribers where they can ‘look over my shoulder’ in the process of my journalism. I try to share as much of the ‘raw’ things I do and link to source documents, videos and podcasts. That includes my full interviews in podcast form and I often quote at length from documents, as well as including charts and links to other email newsletters and podcasts.
The links below are to pieces I’ve either read or listened to in the last week or so, or have stocked up to listen to on walks this weekend. Hopefully it gives subscribers an ‘inside-out’ view of where I get my views and framing for issues I see here in Aotearoa-NZ.
These links are below the paywall fold for paying subscribers, who support the public interest journalism I do on housing unaffordability, climate change inaction and poverty reduction. Come and join us. I welcome any suggestions for useful longer reads from paid subscribers in the comments below.
