- The legend of Malacrianza, Costa Rica’s Killer Bull. What a great read by Ashley Harrell and Lindsay Fendt.
- Depositor’s haircut: James Meek goes to Cyprus and finds out what went wrong. Probably the best thing I read this week.
- Inside Indian generic drugmaker, Ranbaxy: Fortune investigates and finds some nasty stuff. And much of it not legal.
- BitCoin’s winner’s curse and the auction theory about bubbles, Vitaly Gordon, a data scientist with LinkedIn writes.
- Jockeying for position: How boxers and briefs got into men’s pants. Please don’t tell me you don’t want to read this piece.
