Excerpt from BBC Business Daily Podcast -- "There is a lot of tax evasion in Greece - I would say it might be as high as 30% of national income - so it's very important for the government to reduce the use of cash because the non-reported transactions are happening in cash."

Excerpt from Decider -- "The changes to interfacing with brands rippled throughout the larger commercial ecosystem.

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Those pushing for more direct listings disagree. Forcing early investors and insiders to wait six months before selling their shares could actually add confusion to the market, New York University professor Aswath Damodaran said in an interview.

'I think the effects of lockups are vastly overstated.'"

Excerpt from Fat Mascara Podcast -- "L'oreal or Estée Lauder or any other big company are very careful.

Excerpt from Marketing Dive -- "'People tend to share things they experience that are out of the ordinary, and so it's no surprise that if you're staying in an Oscar Mayer mobile hot dog, you're going to post that to your friends 24/7,' said Allen Adamson, an adjunct professor of marketing and branding at NYU Stern School of Business. 'On the flip side, a lot of the hospitality brands are struggling to differentiate from each other. You can't do that with better shampoo or a bigger TV set.'"

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "'The problem is that it is a mixture of extreme influence by lobbyists and also the fact that some regulators are afraid of doing anything because when they do something they are criticized whether they win or they lose.'"

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "'These are used on price tags, these are used in advertising, this is used inside retail stores on signage — all of which are ways to try and get you to anchor on a particular price, so it is against that price that you would then evaluate the current offering,' Priya Raghubir, a marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, told Business Insider."

Excerpt from Markets Media -- “'Fifty years ago New York Stock Exchange technology was still traders and brokers running around on the floor with paper slips, making trades and clearing them,' said Richard Sylla, Professor Emeritus at NYU Stern School of Business.

This finding has been documented for the first time based on data."

'They can have fun with it, too, and show us their personal side with Pick Six.'"

But over the past two decades, Mr. Philippon writes in “The Great Reversal”, this paradise has been lost."
