This week was hotter than usual – unseasonably warm in Chicago, unexpectedly warm iPads, and a few days of hot potato in the markets, most of which took a mid-week beating before bouncing back today. Now that Greece’s 2nd bailout is behind us, Italy and Spain are the new Eurozone fear-generators du jour, while gas prices take center stage in the domestic economic conversation. Here’s what we’re reading headed into the weekend:
