Festive greetings and Happy 2015!

Dear readers,

 

Thank you for you interest in my political-economy blog. It's done in my spare time as I'm busy with my day job. Thank you to those recently asking me for papers, but sadly, I've had to largely decline. I've got some heavy deadlines for end of this week and just after that is the year end break, so here's an early year-end greeting and best wishes for the coming year (in which I'll have to revive my book project)!

 

cheers,

yuleng
