BOOKstore Economics

How do bookstores choose the books they stock, and how does that affect what customers read? It may not seem like it, but every shelf in a bookstore is a highly valuable and contested piece of commercial real estate. And for every new book that a bookstore decides to stock, there are thousands of others that did not make the cut. So how do bookstores make those decisions? And how will the Planet Money book fare under the discerning eyes of the booksellers, the final gatekeepers in the long gauntlet of the publishing industry?Today on the show: the third episode in our series. Planet Money sets out to actually sell a book. We burrow behind the bookstore shelves to learn the secret codes that publishers use to try to convince booksellers to carry the book, from little mom and pops to airport juggernauts. There will be corporate intelligence networks, bargain bin shenanigans, and a giant industrial saw chewing up books by the thousands. Call it Pulp Non-fiction.Related:- Fisher Nash’s Substack- Episode 1: Inside a BOOK auction- Episode 2: Our BOOK vs. the global supply chain - Series: Planet Money makes a bookLive show tour and book info. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Willa Rubin with help from Emma Peaslee.

A pro-worker experiment in private equity

Live event info and tickets here. If your company got bought by a private equity firm, how would you feel? Maybe a little nervous? You might find yourself wondering if there will be layoffs.And you’d be right to worry about that. Research shows that while private equity ownership can boost a company’s productivity, it does generally result in job cuts. But one private equity executive is trying to do things a different way – giving workers equity, little cuts of ownership in their own companies. To see if doing so can improve outcomes overall. On today’s show, private equity is not widely beloved for its societal costs – job losses, product degradation, worsening inequality. And this one guy at this one firm can’t solve all of his industry’s ills. But for the past 15 years, he’s been running a large-scale, real-world experiment to see if giving workers ownership can fit into the big bad world of PE. And maybe lead to more … equity.

Reese’s heir vs. chocolate skimpflation

Live event info and tickets here. When ingredient costs skyrocket, companies have three basic options: They can raise their prices (a sort of product-specific inflation), shrink the size of the products (often called “shrinkflation”), or, sometimes, find more creative ways to reduce costs by degrading the quality of their products - which our very own Greg Rosalsky has dubbed as “skimpflation.” The latest alleged culprit? Hershey’s.The Hershey Company is using ingredients in some of their Reese’s candies that — legally — they cannot call milk chocolate or peanut butter. This has infuriated Brad Reese, a grandson of H.B. Reese, the inventor of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. On today’s show, why chocolate makers might be skimping on chocolate and peanut butter, what else might explain these ingredients, and how Brad Reese has launched a skimp-shaming campaign to get Hershey’s to go back to using classic Reese’s ingredients.And – EXCLUSIVE – you’ll hear Planet Money break some big news to third-generation peanut butter cup scion Brad Reese.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Greg Rosalsky and Sarah Gonzalez.

Dark times for Cuba’s economic experiment

Live event info and tickets here. For more than 60 years, Cuba has survived on two seemingly contradictory economic strategies: leaning on friendly communist and socialist countries, and flirting with capitalism. And right now it seems the US is making both strategies impossible.Since January, the U.S. has been preventing almost all oil from reaching the island. Doctors can’t get to the hospitals where they work, many buses aren’t running, trucks can’t deliver food and medicine where they’re needed. And there have been frequent blackouts. On more than one occasion over the last few weeks, the entire country has lacked power. It’s hard for people to even talk on the phone because they can’t always charge them or get cell service. So we asked them to send us voice notes describing this moment in Cuba’s history. We also wanted to know: How did Cuba get here? On today’s episode: a brief history of Cuba’s communist-capitalist experiment.

Artemis: Why Are We Really Going Back to the Moon?

The moon race is back! NASA’s Artemis II mission just sent four astronauts around the moon. And other countries — and billionaires — are lining up to take a crack at returning to the moon too.

The apps on our phones do an amazing job of sucking us in. In fact, a big court case just found that some of these companies should be held responsible for basically designing products to be addictive.

8. L’11 settembre e la guerra all’America di Bin Laden

La storia dell’attentato alle Torri Gemelle e della guerra all’America di Al-Qaida comincia molto prima dell’11 settembre 2001. L’organizzazione terroristica viene fondata nel 1988, dopo che il giovane Osama Bin Laden, rampollo saudita di buona famiglia, si convince che gli Stati Uniti siano i principali responsabili di tutti i mali che affliggono il mondo islamico. Sono moltissimi gli attentati organizzati in giro per il mondo in quegli anni, tutti con uno stesso obiettivo: i cittadini americani. La rete diventa sempre più ampia e grazie all’incontro con un uomo, nel 1996 in Afghanistan, viene costruito l’attentato più famoso della storia.

7. Il pugno di Nelson Mandela e l’Apartheid in Sudafrica

Nel 1990, Nelson Mandela esce dal carcere di Victor Verster a Città del Capo, dopo 27 anni di detenzione, e alza il pugno al cielo. È un momento iconico: dopo cinquant’anni di lotte, pacifiche e armate, e di sangue versato, in Sudafrica finisce l’era della segregazione razziale. L’Apartheid, contro cui Mandela e molti altri hanno lottato per gran parte della vita, appartiene finalmente al passato.

6. Il crollo del muro di Berlino e la fine dell’Unione Sovietica

Tra colpi di Stato, esplosioni nucleari, proteste e manovre politiche azzardate, il crollo dell’Unione Sovietica si è concretizzato in pochi anni, lasciando dietro di sé le macerie su cui è nata la Russia di oggi. Il crollo del muro di Berlino, il disastro nucleare di Chernobyl, la perestroika di Gorbaciov e il susseguirsi delle dichiarazioni di indipendenza sono solo alcuni dei momenti spartiacque che hanno segnato la fine della superpotenza che, insieme agli Stati Uniti, ha fatto la storia del novecento.

5. Golpe, sangue e desaparecidos: storia delle dittature sudamericane

Cile, Brasile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Perù, Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina. Tra gli anni ‘60 e gli anni ‘70, la storia del Sudamerica è stata segnata da golpe militari e dittature sanguinose, appoggiate segretamente dalla CIA per arginare il successo delle forze di sinistra nella regione. In pochi anni sono morte decine di migliaia di persone, mentre altre sono semplicemente scomparse: sono i desaparecidos, vittime di un vero e proprio genocidio politico.

4. Come Israele si è preso la Palestina in meno di un secolo

Dalla guerra dei sei giorni a quella dello Yom Kippur, lo Stato di Israele ha una storia controversa che comincia ben prima della sua fondazione. È il 1897 quando si tiene il primo congresso sionista a Basilea, seguito dall’immigrazione ebraica in Palestina all’inizio del novecento. E poi la nakba, l’istituzione di Israele e i conflitti armati con i Paesi confinanti, che non hanno mai accettato la presenza dello Stato ebraico. Non è un caso che i terroristi di Hamas abbiano scelto proprio il 7 ottobre per il loro attacco.
