Back from the dead, and back from paradise.
By Vinayak
I know I know... it's very difficult to come up with a good answer when someone asks you why you've been absent a whole YEAR! Oh well, I'll just skip that one, and say hello all over again!
I just got back from a week long teaching session in Syria for the Central Bank of Syria and LSE. I got to teach 30 up and coming stars at the bank introductory monetary policy and tried to bring them up to speed with things that are going on in central banks around the world. While that itself was a mundane chore, visiting Syria was incredibly amazing, paradise almost. I will save that for my next post, but hopefully you won't have to wait a year for that... perhaps just under a week!
