The work week may be over, but the economy really never takes time off.
In this week’s episode of Off the Clock, Stacey Vanek Smith and I help you cut through the noise and figure out what you should actually care about from this week’s economic news.

We also discuss the World Cup ticket debacle—and whether prices are always the most efficient way to distribute our scarce resources.
