The other two guests, both economists, trot out excuses for why they missed the current crisis and happily make predictions about what […]

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a cutesy, slow-paced, abandoned island-them-up game by Nintendo, the same company that brought you such titles as Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Wikipedia describes the game as a “social simulation”, but that’s incorrect: this masks its true identity as an accidental expose of the […]
