Motley Fool Money - Buybacks Done Well (and Not-So-Well)
Share buybacks can be a great use of capital, but only for the right price. Dylan Lewis and John Rotonti take a look at two companies that are expert capital allocators and one company that’s made some expensive buybacks. They discuss: - A common misunderstanding investors have about free cash flow - Why management teams often struggle at doing share repurchases well - How Apple became a “shining example” of superior capital allocation - One less-familiar company that’s executed buybacks well
Companies discussed: APPL, META, ORLY

World Book Club - Tahmima Anam: A Golden Age
This month as World Book Club continues its year-long season celebrating the Exuberance of Youth it also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the programme.
To mark this happy occasion World Book Club are guests of the London Literature Festival at the South Bank Centre on the River Thames and Harriett Gilbert talks to Bangladeshi-born British novelist Tahmima Anam about her enthralling novel, A Golden Age.
Winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award, A Golden Age is a story of passion and revolution, of hope, faith and unexpected heroism in the middle of chaos. Set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh War of Independence we follow Rehana, a mother struggling to protect her children as the civil war intensifies. Wanting only to keep them safe she finds herself facing a heartbreaking dilemma in a war that will eventually see the birth of Bangladesh.

Everything Everywhere Daily - British Currency Decimalization
On February 15, 1971, the United Kingdom had a landmark day in its history.
On that day, the country’s currency was changed after centuries of a currency system with very little change. It was a day that was years in the making.
It wasn’t the currency that changed, however. Rather it was how the currency was divided. It was the change that changed.
Learn more about Decimal Day and British Currency Decimalization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Reaching ‘Net Zero’ – What Will It Really Take?
Starting this weekend, governments, businesses, and scientific leaders from around the world are gathering in Egypt for the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference. To curb the effects of global warming, a lot of emphases has been put on reaching a specific goal: net zero emissions by 2050.
That deadline is to, basically, give countries and industries time to implement changes that most scientists say are needed to avoid triggering irreversible, catastrophic effects of climate change. But what does that transformation to net zero really mean and look like in our daily lives?
Dr. Mekala Krishnan says it’ll fundamentally change every system. She’s a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute and she co-authored a research report that analyzed the economic impact of these changes – the major, society-wide shifts that would have to happen from jobs and cars, to the foods we eat, and beyond.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Affirmative Action on the Chopping Block
Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Professor Cara McClellan, former counsel at NAACP LDF, and founding Director of the Advocacy for Racial and Civil Justice Clinic, at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. Professor McClellan takes us through an extensive trial record largely ignored in oral arguments at SCOTUS this past week.
Then, Dahlia is joined by David Rothkopf whose book, American Resistance: The inside story of how the deep state saved the nation, details the folks who stuck around and tried to hold the line during the Trump years, and what we can learn from them.
In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about the judges pushing back in gun cases post Bruen, and the lower courts defying Supreme Court precedent as they seek to curtail LGBTQ rights.
