If 2020 was the single most disruptive year in my lifetime (pandemics, recessions, social unrest, elections, fraying global orders), 2021 came close to approaching it. As is typical of great years to study political economy, it was a not-so-great year for experiencing the global economy: a persistent pandemic, worsening great power tensions, global supply chain pressures, and lots of attempts to weaponize interdependence. This has produced a cornucopia of interesting things to read. So go ahead and please propose as many Albie nominations as you like in the comments.
