Smart Trust
By Porchlight
It seems that cynicism has become a national pastime. Politicians don’t trust each other. Businesspeople don’t trust the politicians and much of the public doesn’t trust either group.

Addressing The Behavior Gap in the New Year
By Porchlight
We don't recommend too many personal finance titles around here. The last one I can remember us being really excited about was Lee Eisenberg's The Number, which came out in 2006 and didn't do as well with the general readership as we thought and hoped it would. Financial literacy is a immensely important topic, but most personal finance books are rather dense—as well-written, easy-to-understand and exciting to read as the assembly instructions to the bar stool you just got for Christmas.

Innovation might be the way to achieve those things, but the problem is that we're often not sure exactly what innovation even means, let alone how to practice it.
