September 2019
A month of work and reading
September was a quiet month, gearing up for my New Zealand trip by working as much as possible. Client work needs finished, and I need to ensure that I have ample buffer for the Spring.

Reading
- The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History by David Hackett Fischer
- The Anxious Triumph: A Global History of Capitalism, 1860-1914 by Donald Sassoon
