Newsletters

Overview

The Newsletters collection is a digital archive of the Chartbook newsletter series authored by historian and economist Adam Tooze. Created on 15 August 2021 and hosted by the institution “test‑tooze,” the collection is presented in English and comprises 17 newsletter issues (Top Links 9–17) plus related supplemental materials (audio, video, and a fossil‑fuel industry document set). Each issue is dated between 10 August 2021 and 5 October 2021 and is available as a web page or PDF.

Background

Adam Tooze, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, launched Chartbook as a subscription‑based newsletter that blends economic analysis with historical context. The collection is part of the broader Chartbook project, which offers annual, monthly, and Founders‑Club subscription tiers. The source metadata indicates that the newsletters were produced under the umbrella of the Chartbook organization and were distributed through the “test‑tooze” platform.

Contents

The archive contains the following key items:
  • Top Links 9–17: narrative essays covering topics such as Afghanistan’s economic crisis, U.S. monetary policy, the war on terror, and global inflation debates.
  • Chartbook 32–35, 40, 42: thematic issues that discuss U.S. foreign policy, the war on terror, the Great Inflation debate, and Occupy Wall Street.
  • Chartbook Audio 2 and Video 3–4: multimedia segments featuring interviews with scholars (e.g., Jordan Schneider, Matt Klein) and panel discussions on macro‑finance and global asymmetries.
  • Fossil‑Fuel Industry Documents: a curated set of links to Bloomberg, DocumentCloud, and Shell reports on climate policy.
Each newsletter includes embedded links, images, and citations to external sources (e.g., FT, NBER, WSJ). Subscription information (annual, monthly, Founders‑Club) is referenced throughout the issues.

Scope

The collection covers economic, historical, political, and financial topics from late 2021, with a geographic focus on Afghanistan, Germany, Kenya, and the United States. It includes analyses of U.S. monetary policy, international aid, war‑related spending, and climate policy. The archive does not contain earlier Chartbook issues or non‑newsletter materials beyond the listed supplemental documents.
