When I wrote my piece last week about art-market reporting, I didn’t name names, I was just trying to lay out some basic rules.
And while I’m happy to engage in the occasional snarky tweet about some of the bad reporting out there, I generally won’t make an entire blog post out of such complaining. Because it’s boring, and also because it’s invidious to pick out just one bad article from hundreds or even thousands. And yet, I’m going to make an exception for James Stewart.

How the Economic Machine Works [Animation] by Ray Dalio. The Last Mystery of the Financial Crisis. New Deal Toys Are Few, but Nostalgia Abounds. Here’s yet another ripple effect of the deal bust: Demand for deal toys — otherwise known as Lucites or tombstones — is taking a hit. Investment Dealers’ Digest takes advantage of the lull in mergers and public offerings to look back at the culture and history of deal toys, which are meant to celebrate a successful transaction and often line the mantels of bankers’ offices. They can be simple, engraved blocks, elaborate objets or gag items (a playing-card dispenser for Wynn‘s convertible-bond deal, for example). The Digest spoke to bankers and lawyers about their favorite toys; Fred Joseph, the former chief executive of Drexel Burnham Lambert who now works at boutique firm Morgan Joseph, still has hundreds of pieces of deal memorabilia in his collection.
It also talked to Jeff Sehgal, a former banker who founded a company that sells these deal toys. Quick History: Lucite Retrospect.

Let's take a look at the history behind this material, and some of the iconic furniture designs that have taken advantage of its properties. Lucite is actually a brand name for a kind of acrylic resin that is basically the same thing as Plexiglas, Perspex and other trademarks, but, just as the brand name "Kleenex" has come to denote any tissue, I will hereafter refer to all these things as Lucite.

In American English the word corporation is widely used to describe large business corporations.[4] In British English and in the commonwealth countries, the term company is more widely used to describe the same sort of entity while the word corporation encompasses all incorporated entities. In American English, the word company can include entities such as partnerships that would not be referred to as companies in British English as they are not a separate legal entity.
Despite not being human beings, corporations, as far as the law is concerned, are legal persons, and have many of the same rights and responsibilities as natural people do. Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state,[5][6] and they can themselves be responsible for human rights violations.[7] Corporations can be "dissolved" either by statutory operation, order of court, or voluntary action on the part of shareholders.
