Assorted links

1. Interview with Neil Wallace, and another one here (pdf).  Both are interesting.

2. A good best jazz of 2013 post.

3. Yet another good argument against free will.

4. Quits seem low, even if we adjust for high unemployment.

5. Cyprus update: “The one bright spot is tourism from Russia, which is enjoying an explosive growth as the country slips into a new economic and cultural orbit.”

6.  A better set of Christmas presents there are not.  And an amusing Christmas satire on economics blogs, quite good.
