Professor Thomaï Serdari adds context to the criticism of Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand

Handelsblatt logo
Excerpt from Handelsblatt -- "Instead of dismissing a product as witchcraft, the good critic will offer counter examples but will also entertain the possibility that this product offers something that pure science ( in Goop’s case) has failed to offer. What would that be? A failsafe system to cure disease, to find happiness, and to fully connect mind, body, and soul. And let’s not forget that about 100 years ago, in the 1920s, doctors used to prescribe fresh air, sunshine, and the 'waters' when they could not offer a more scientific remedy to some people’s ailments."

Professor Beth Bechky's joint research on women expressing emotions at work is spotlighted

Toronto Star logo
Excerpt from the Toronto Star -- "'Because the underlying emotions associated with crying are often ambiguous,' the authors tell us, 'the underlying meaning of crying, in terms of what it says about the situation and the crier is also often ambiguous. As a result, we argue that determining the meaning of female crying at work may rely on assessment information other than the crier’s underlying emotions.'"

InsideSources logo
Excerpt from InsideSources -- “Partly this is pure power and jurisdiction, but also I think the states genuinely believe that ‘We the states do a better job of regulating financial entities that have a lot of consumer facing aspects, we do a better job of protecting our consumers.’ The feds have a tradition of neglecting consumers and being more partial to the businesses and banks that they regulate. So the states are saying, ‘We can do a better job.'”

We know the things that drive them, whether it's strong growth or rising inflation, we know what changes their policy, we know that when they're running a very accommodating policy, they are going to be uncomfortable with it if the economy is already doing well, they are going to want to get back to something like normal. Because we know that, we can anticipate it and it shows up in market prices long before they act."
