Chartbook Newsletter Collection

Overview

The Chartbook Newsletter Collection is a digital archive of a series of newsletters authored by Adam Tooze. Created on 18 February 2022, the collection is hosted by the institution “test‑tooze” and is available in English. It comprises 20 newsletters (numbers 83–102 and 121) published daily from 19 February 2022 through 19 March 2022, with an additional newsletter dated 14 May 2022. Each newsletter is a brief analytical piece, typically a few pages long, that examines contemporary economic, geopolitical, and policy developments.

Background

Adam Tooze is a noted economic historian and commentator. The newsletters were produced during the early months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing global economic fallout. The collection reflects Tooze’s focus on sanctions, financial markets, energy, and the broader geopolitical context of the conflict. The source metadata indicates that all rights are reserved and that the material is intended for archival and research purposes.

Contents

The newsletters cover a range of subjects:
  • Sanctions and financial policy (e.g., “About those sanctions: SWIFT, correspondent banking, and the GL 8 energy carve‑out.”)
  • Energy and commodities (e.g., “Russia’s $720 m per day gas windfall – the lopsided economic war.”)
  • Geopolitical analysis (e.g., “Putin’s war, China and the Euro‑Dollar trap.”)
  • Regional impacts (e.g., “So like us – Africa and the Russo‑Ukrainian war.”)
  • Economic theory and policy (e.g., “What if Putin’s war regime turns to MMT? … or to wartime Keynesianism?”).

Each newsletter references a range of entities—political leaders, institutions, and economic concepts—such as Joe Biden, the U.S. Treasury, VTB Bank, the Energy Charter Treaty, and Modern Monetary Theory. The collection also includes brief mentions of broader topics like the Treaty of Brest‑Litovsk and demographic trends in Africa.

Scope

The archive covers the period from 19 February 2022 to 19 March 2022 (plus a single entry on 14 May 2022). Geographically, it focuses on Ukraine, Russia, Europe, the United States, and, to a lesser extent, Africa and China. Thematically, it addresses sanctions, financial markets, energy, commodities, and international relations, with a particular emphasis on the economic ramifications of the Russo‑Ukrainian conflict. The collection does not include full‑length books or external research reports, but it provides concise, timely analyses that complement broader scholarly work on the subject.
