Began my Sunday morning by finishing #monstrilio by Gerardo Samano Cordova. What a great book, one of the most original stories I’ve come across this year. Well done!

Wondering why that carton of eggs costs so freaking much? Join me tomorrow at noon as I sit down with a business professor and an agricultural economist to talk inflation, supply chain breakdowns and, as the title says... why does everything cost so much?
On Feb. 20, join @McGillAlumni's webcast to hear Prof. Javad Nasiry, Director of the Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI), & @pterio76 of @McGillMacCampus discuss the global forces that have led to half-empty store shelves & rising costs. mcgill.ca/x/3rF
