A look at the recurring "10 Monday AM Reads" feature, which curates diverse articles on finance, economics, technology, and culture from various outlets.
The "10 Monday AM Reads" is a recurring feature that curates a list of ten articles to start the week, covering a diverse mix of finance, economics, technology, and culture. Recent editions have highlighted topics ranging from the valuation of social media platforms to the use of video game controllers in the military [1]. The feature often includes commentary on market trends, such as the observation that the U.S. stock market capitalization has grown to represent nearly 50% of the global market cap, up from 30% in 2009 [1].
Key takeaways
The reading list frequently addresses significant economic shifts and market analyses. For instance, a 2024 edition noted that a record surge in pandemic-era start-ups is fueling job growth, while also citing Fidelity estimates that Twitter’s value dropped 80% to $8 billion since Elon Musk’s purchase [1]. Technology is another recurring theme, with articles exploring AI-generated podcasts and the U.S. military's adoption of video-game-style controllers [1]. Earlier iterations of the feature from 2012 and 2013 focused heavily on post-crisis economic recovery, discussing the risks of high-frequency trading, the debate over QE3 and inflation, and comparisons between U.S. stocks and emerging markets like the BRICs [2, 3, 5].
