About

Long-time journo, with some finance and government stuff in the middle. Lived and reported from numerous countries, mostly in Asia. Professional interests include public health, economic esoterica (MME, paradox of thrift, Giffen goods), luxury goods, currency markets. Silly interests include pro wrestling, whisky, and...blockchain? I feel like I have to say blockchain these days.
