The Reading List: October 22, 2021

In a world strapped for time, we thought you may find it useful to have a selection of articles we read this past week. As the week winds down, you can browse through them and turn up with some new thoughts and views on Monday. It’s a broad mix of topics but mainly from the world of business, economy and finance. Occasionally, we may stray from these subjects.

These links may be from external websites we frequent or shared by people we follow on social media. Articles written in Moneycontrol Pro are shared through our daily newsletter Pro Panorama and also curated in Pro Weekender (released on Saturday).
