NPR's Book of the Day - Two James Baldwin experts break down his early fiction and political writing

To mark the end of Black History Month, we're revisiting two conversations about James Baldwin that first aired last summer for his 100th birthday. First, NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with McKinley Melton – associate professor of Africana Studies at Rhodes College – about Baldwin's first novel, Go Tell It On the Mountain. Melton says he sees the work as an autobiographical revisitation of the author's own childhood, filled with all that Baldwin wished he knew at 14. Then, professor and novelist Jesmyn Ward joins Limbong to discuss The Fire Next Time. The nonfiction work contains two of Baldwin's political essays, the first of which is written as a letter to Baldwin's 14-year-old nephew.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Economic Statistics

Every month, or sometimes every quarter, governments around the world release economic statistics.

Markets will often wait for the release of these statistics, and billions of dollars of investments will often hang on what these statistics reveal. 

While the announcement of economic data will often make the news, many people aren’t aware of what these statistics actually mean. Often times they reflect something totally different than what their name might imply. 

Learn more about economic statistics, how they are calculated and what they mean on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
