Here are some of my favorite articles from this week in the world of personal finance. Enjoy at your leisure, and don’t forget to check out the ABDPBT, ABDPBT Tech, and ABDPBT Commodity Fetishism versions as well. If you have a link to suggest for next week, please email me at anna at abdpbt 
dot com and I’ll check it out.
- Oh, I’m sorry — you thought I was running out of examples of how the green movement has become pretentious and annoying, not to mention sick and macabre? Oh no, I’m sorry, I’ve got more. Because now, the Swedes have starting burning bunnies as a fuel source. Look people, I don’t even go looking for this stuff, it just comes to me. A revolution is afoot, comrades, and generations that come after us will want to know, did you go Purple when the time was right, or were you just another greenie sheep?
- Frank at Bad Money Advice deconstructs how artificial scarcity and exclusivity fuels the sales of online resellers of luxury goods (Gilt Group, Billion Dollar Babes, etc.). I suppose I know this, but I still end up buying stuff from these people. So I’d like an article on how to avoid that next week, Frank.
- The Weakonomist reports back on his findings for how people define economics. The only thing that might make it more interesting if we broke up the list of answers according to political party.
