Greatest Hits of 2014

'Tis the season of re-gifting, and so I make bold to pass along this list of 16 of the most popular posts of 2014 at this website, at least one from each month, in reverse chronological order. Of course, I encourage you to spend your holidays surfing the Conversable Economist archives; after all, unless your personal interests are perfectly aligned with pageview popularity (and isn't that a frightening thought?), you are likely to find other posts of interest, too.
