Oct. 17, 2016 A visual breakdown of Italy’s mounting financial crisis.

Oct. 17, 2016 U.S. productivity growth is falling and that has a great deal to do with the aging of the microchip industry.

Oct. 14, 2016 The war in Yemen could shut down shipping lanes, which the U.S. can’t afford.

Oct. 14, 2016 Yemen’s civil war has made its way back in to the headlines when two missiles were launched at U.S. warships in the Red Sea followed by U.S. retaliation that involved destroying three radar sites in Houthi and Saleh-loyalist areas in Yemen. Yemen doesn’t get nearly as much media coverage as Syria, largely due to the fact that the country is of no real strategic importance to anyone except for Saudi Arabia. That will quickly change if militants can reliably get their hands on anti-ship missiles and make crossing the maritime chokepoint at the Bab el-Mandeb difficult.
