Stephanie Kelton and Thomas Fazi on inflation

The American economic analyst Stephanie Kelton and the Italian Thomas Fazi give a different perspective on inflation to most of what you will read this week.

Kelton argues for expanding the fed’s toolkit here in a piece called Inflation - Whodunit and what to do about it.

Fazi argues for regulating excessive speculation in energy and commodity markets among other things here at Unherd.

Style in film: Elizabeth Taylor in Suddenly, Last Summer

Because it’s summer, I was thinking of the most beautiful swimwear ever captured on camera and to me it is in this famous scene from Suddenly Last Summer with Elizabeth Taylor.

Elizabeth Taylor on the set of Suddenly Last Summer. S’Agaró, Spain. 1959.

I went looking around and found this interesting piece about the costume design in the film. It really was the pinnacle of fashion in cinema.

Angela, by any random chance, have you seen the 8 min or so blip on Turner Classic Movie channel about Hollywood's history on fashion designers and their impact on movies? Great stuff. Suddenly Last Summer was a powerful story. It's not often you see Elizabeth in a movie that deals, however obliquely, with cannibalism!
