Tim HarfordThis is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.

The same also applies to developing board games or card games.

I'm 6 years old, and I remember running amok and playing these games.

Kate SpadeOne-and-done is the most damaging thing in college basketball. It brings money into the college game, because it kickstarts the bidding war.
