@NathanDunbar @hopedellon @StMartinsPress @ErikaSwyler Yes, the 19th of February. She was a close friend. She introduced me to Louise Penny. I just finally read LP's mystery, All the Devils Are Here, which is beautifully dedicated to Hope, as well as a big part of the acknowledgements. Hope was beloved of many.

Riveting, stunning, shocking, historically significant. Nazi Billionaires by David De Jong, @davidthejong, caught my attention as discussed at length by economic historian @adam_tooze in a recent Chartbook newsletter. Everything at play today has roots in yesterday. https://t.co/PjBn2sq79V
