From AI and inflation to Elon Musk and Taylor Swift, the business stories that dominated the year 2023

And Taylor Swift's concert tour scaled such stratospheric heights that she invigorated some regional economies and drew a mention in Federal Reserve proceedings. A year of wide-ranging business stories captured attention in 2023. 12/28/2023 05:00 AM
