Issuance of corporate bonds and leveraged loans climbed by more than a third from 2023 to $7.93tn, according to LSEG data.”

When I decided to take an unpaid internship at the Ministry of the Economy (~= Dept of Commerce) in my final undergrad year and realized that: (i) you could things w/ an econ degree that were more interesting than strategic consulting or investment banking but (ii) you needed a PhD for that
What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.

For decades, Windell Curole worked with the federal government to build a massive ring of levees to protect his community from hurricane force flooding. But after Katrina, Windell decided that the best way to protect the place he was born and raised was to go rogue.
