I read BusinessWeek, the Economist, and some other bizmags and econobloggers a lot (can’t say enough about the New York Post’s John Crudele). Outside of my own industry (as a Pharma observer), I like to see read interpretations of how industries function, how business works, and why money does what it does. I haven’t come to any grand conclusions about this stuff, but I am gratified that elegant design of consumer goods is on the upswing. Virginia Postrel writes about this a lot, and I plan to read her recent book on the subject, The Substance of Style, later this year.
All of that is a preface to saying that BusinessWeek has just launched an Innovation & Design site, covering all those subjects that I adore. So check it out sometime.
