Our Dollar, Your ProblemTheir words
Um, currently I am reading Ken Rogoff's book, Our Dollar Your Problem, which has like a sweeping history of how the dollar became the global reserve currency and how much of that was about luck and whether that will persist. I haven't finished it yet, but I really I'm really enjoying it right now.

Demon CopperheadTheir words
Um, my second recommendation would be uh, Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingolver, which came out a couple of years ago and I think won the Pulitzer and it's a a beautiful novel um, that's loosely based or sort of an update of of David Copperfield uh, that I think besides being, you know, extraordinarily written has some tremendous political ical insights in it as well. I don't if have you read it?

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
