The Intelligence from The Economist - Moves over: American house prices
The highest interest rates in years should lead to a fall in house prices. But peculiarities of America’s mortgage market are driving them up. Egg-freezing was supposed to give women more control over childbearing; we look at scant data showing how successful it really is (10:57). And remembering Isabel Crook, an anthropologist who embraced China’s communist transformation, warts and all (15:44).

The Best One Yet - 🇸🇪 “Fluügen-sofa” — Ikea’s maze strategy. Apple’s banned iPhone. SkinnyDipped chocolate.
Apple stock just lost $210B in value in just 2 days — Because China found an iPhone replacement.
Ikea just confirmed that their loopy maze-like store layout is both loved and lucrative — And there’s a psychological reason why.
And SkinnyDipped just raised capital from a dozen celebs for its chocolate-covered snacks — Because they’re doing nothing innovative (and that’s exactly the point).

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CARPE CONSENSUS: Did Centralization Cause the Base Blockchain Outage?
While one network (Base) faced an outage, another (Ethereum) had a layer 2 leader grappling with the idea of an “Ethereum Supreme Court.”
On “Carpe Consensus,” host Danny Nelson is joined by CoinDesk tech reporter Sam Kessler to dive into the latest blockchain news.
- [0:53] Coinbase’s Ethereum layer 2 blockchain Base experienced its first major outage since its launch, halting the production of new blocks for about 45 minutes. Sam explains what caused the outage and other vulnerabilities he’s watching.
- [13:16] In crypto, the phrase “code is law” seems to assert that technology can thwart centralized individuals. But a proposal for an “Ethereum Supreme Court” gets Danny and Sam thinking – are blockchains already just social contracts, not straight code as we’ve been led to believe?
“Carpe Consensus” is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl.

NBN Book of the Day - Shai M. Dromi and Samuel D. Stabler, “Moral Minefields: How Sociologists Debate Good Science” (U Chicago Press, 2023)
Where does morality fit into contemporary social science? In Moral Minefields: How Sociologists Debate Good Science (U Chicago Press, 2023), Shai Dromi, an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sociology at Harvard University and Samuel Stabler Associate Teaching Professor of Sociology at Pennsylvania State University, draw on pragmatist theory to offer insights as to how sociology can avoid moral myopia and be value pluralistic. The book offers rich case studies of key fields and debates, including sociology of religion, race and inequality, nationalism and cosmopolitanism, and fertility and work, all showing how values and morals shape the practice of research. The book makes a significant contribution to both sociology and the social sciences more generally, and will be essential reading for both academics and anyone interested in the values of contemporary research.
Dave O'Brien is Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries at the University of Manchester.

Everything Everywhere Daily - World War Zero (Encore)
I’ve done many episodes talking about the first world war and I’ve done many episodes talking about the second world war.

Learn more about World War Zero, the world war before the world wars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - The Tension Over Tourism In Hawai’i
In a new report, Hawai'i’s Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism estimates that because of the Maui fire damages, the state’s economy will lose about $1.9 billion through 2024. So while state tourism officials initially urged tourists to stay away from Maui, they’ve now started to encourage tourists to come back to other parts of Maui and other Hawaiian islands to boost the local economy. But that tourism comes with a price.
Today, the Florida Supreme Court will hear a case that could overturn 34 years of legal precedent regarding the right to abortion access. If successful, the state — which now provides the most abortion access in the Southeast — could quickly become a very different place for those seeking the medical procedure.
And in headlines: Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled that federal laws prohibiting abortion are unconstitutional violations of women’s rights, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on government officials to provide more support for the city’s migrant crisis, and the South Florida city of Lake Worth Beach has become the state’s first LGBTQ+ sanctuary city.
