Summer Reading 2025 For many, August is the perfect opportunity to pause a little, reflect on the year so far, and plan for the months still to come. What better time to look back at popular columns, papers, books, podcasts and videos from the first half of the year, that you may have missed or overlooked.

Ukraine GDP Warrants

Ukraine's bonds seem to leave room for Ukraine to impose its own "fiscal" law on payments. Might this be a source of leverage for the country in its negotiations with GDP warrant holders
