I must be a pretty big fan of matrimony because
I keep trying to marry things – like finance and development or business and
research. In writing a blog, I tried to marry my expertise in fake news with my
desire to make a last ditch attempt at salvaging my interest in economics. The
first couple of months passed in absolute wedded bliss. Then fake news started
paying more attention to politics. When real news started getting funnier than
fake news, the latter had a midlife crisis. Economics, meanwhile, pregnant with
the aftermath of the financial crisis started having severe mood swings. The
marriage is in shambles now. The financial crisis is a 21st century
bastard. I’ve decided to stop playing matchmaker for a bit.
