Here is a selection from the second half of 2017:

Economics and the new history of capitalism
The gilded age: a tale of today
Desperately seeking a link between wages and productivity
At the bottom of the wealth pyramid
The arc of (pre)history bends towards greater inequality
Accumulate, accumulate! That is Moses and the prophets!

Here is a sample of my favorites from the first half of 2017:

As regular readers of this blog know, I try to make available and critically interpret descriptive statistics, mostly charts of data—to provide a foundation for a contemporary critique of political economy.
Last year, I spent a good bit of time using publicly available data to make my own graphs and charts, which readers are free to use for their own purposes.
Here are some of those charts (just click on each one to go to the post in which it originally appeared).
