There's been a lot of attention given lately to ESG investing, but not always a lot of explanation. What the E in ESG stands for is easy to guess -- environmental. The G, governance, is harder to remember but at least is specific. The S on the other hand, is neither easy to guess or pin down: social. It's a term that can encompass concerns from gender equality to worker rights to new ways to provide funding to charities working in poor countries. What was once a fringe approach has now seen big

Nafta is the accord between the U.S., Canada and Mexico that, starting in 1994, phased out tariffs on most goods among the three countries, creating what was then the world's largest free-trade zone and over time tripling trade among the signatories. Over 13 months of negotiations beginning in 2017, the three countries agreed to mod

Europe was shaken a decade ago when vital supplies of Russian natural gas piped across Ukraine cut out during the middle of winter during a dispute between the two former Soviet countries over prices. The 10-year deal reached to end the shutdown expires on Dec. 31, and another standoff is possible. But much has changed since 2009. Europe has diversified its sources of gas and stockpiled supply to guard against shocks. For its part, Russia now depends far less on Ukraine's pipelines thanks to the

One of the main objections to legalizing sports betting used to be that it would tempt players and officials to rig games. But that's become something of a moot point following an explosion of illegal sports gambling via online bookmakers. In fact, many sports bodies and law enforcement agencies now argue that the best way to combat match-fixing is to bring sports betting out of the shadows. Whatever the risks, the potential tax windfall from legalization may be too alluring to pass up for many

In the case of the U.S. and China, disputes over human rights or geopolitics also can play a role.
