How to get through the Strait of Hormuz

How to get through the Strait of Hormuz

The United States has been at war with Iran since February 28th. And for a month and a half, Iranā€™s main leverage over the U.S. has been their control over the Strait of Hormuz ā€” a key global shipping route. Iran has attacked ships that try to pass without approval. And recently theyā€™ve insinuated that one part of the Strait ā€” the part near Oman ā€” is not safe. Which means that captains had to go right by Iranā€™s shores to get through the Strait ā€¦ effectively creating a chokepoint for the global economy.Ā

BOOKstore Economics

How do bookstores choose the books they stock, and how does that affect what customers read? It may not seem like it, but every shelf in a bookstore is a highly valuable and contested piece of commercial real estate. And for every new book that a bookstore decides to stock, there are thousands of others that did not make the cut. So how do bookstores make those decisions? And how will the Planet Money book fare under the discerning eyes of the booksellers, the final gatekeepers in the long gauntlet of the publishing industry?

Our BOOK vs. the global supply chain

Our BOOK vs. the global supply chain

When you come across a book at a yard sale or a bookstore, you might pay more attention to the words between the covers than the physical form of the book itself. But content and the form are both crucial to a bookā€™s success. Each book you pull off the shelf, is the product of thousands of decisions, big and small, tying together vast supply chains and armies of workers from around the world.Ā
