Another Friday – another post full of interesting links for our readers!

1. Our own Michael Fuenfzig suggests visiting investor.ge, not least for these two contributions from our ISET colleagues – Monica Ellena and Michael himself.

2. Ever wonder who has the most natural resources in the world? Here’s the answer. Not quite surprising, is it?

3. If you live in a poor country, let it at least be sunny – that’s what this story about solar energy teaches us. Oh, if Georgian readers are interested in how much an average resident of Manhattan pays for electricity – it’s somewhere in the middle of the article.

4. An excellent – and I can’t emphasize it enough – piece from physicist Tom Murphy, about an argument between a physicist and an economist. And I certainly agree with the physicist on this one! Do you?

5. Why is the US richer than Europe? The author of this article points, in essence, to urbanization.

6. The Free Exchange blog has an interesting piece that discusses whether a cashless economy is more easily manageable.

7. Nice article by Stephen Williamson on monetary policy and what Bernanke should really be doing.

8. Roger Farmer is a guest on Noah Smith’s blog, where he provides an interesting view on equilibrium in macroeconomics. Or, rather, equilibria (or is it -ums?). And I know who will like and comment on this one! Btw, make sure to read Noah’s post to which this one is an answer.

9. Finally, Acemoglu and Robinson clearly haven’t heard of Godwin’s Law when they discuss whether Keynesian economics is “left” or “right”. Still, interesting to read.
