Victoria Scholar rounds up a day of business with her analysis of Black Friday and China’s slowing economy. Our On This Day feature looks at 1970’s attempted coup in Japan. We preview Monocle’s 2023 edition of ‘The Forecast’ and whether New York is a failing metropolis. Plus: John van Wyhe joins us to explain why a Charles Darwin document is the rarest manuscript to be auctioned off; we learn why the Finnish sauna can boost mental health and hear how “bin chickens” learnt to wash poisonous cane toads.
