Economy, science and the wider world
Growth figures, market jitters and policy bets rarely tell the whole story. This section follows economy news across the major powers and emerging markets, asking what the headline numbers leave out.
Recent analysis questions whether India’s rapid expansion is as solid as reported, whether China’s model exports risk to its partners, and whether Russia’s war-time economy is overheating. US coverage tracks inflation data and stock market wobbles, while a piece on the China-Pakistan corridor looks at how diplomacy shapes investment.
Other stories take a sector view: the cost of climate shocks for the global sports business, change in the European translation market, fraud and counterfeiting cases in India, a crypto market analysis by Chaslau Koniukh and the debate over degrowth. Readers who want the big picture should start with the country pieces, then turn to sector reports for detail.
