Chartbook Newsletter Collection

Overview

The Chartbook Newsletter Collection is a digital archive of weekly newsletters authored by historian Adam Tooze and published by the Chartbook Series. Created on 15 November 2020, the collection is stored in English on the PINAX platform and is protected by an “All rights reserved” copyright. It comprises a series of chart‑laden analyses that pair visual data with concise commentary on contemporary economic and political developments. The archive includes at least 29 individual issues (Chartbook #1–#29) as well as a supplemental Treasury‑Market file, covering the period from late 2020 through mid‑2021.

Background

Adam Tooze, a professor of history at Oxford University, founded the Chartbook newsletter to distil complex economic data into accessible, data‑rich essays. The series draws on a range of primary sources, including OECD statistics, market reports, and academic literature. The collection was assembled for archival purposes by the PINAX project, which aggregates scholarly digital outputs and preserves them for future research.

Each newsletter is a short, chart‑laden essay that discusses a specific economic or political theme. Key subjects include:

Bond vigilantes and fiscal discipline
China state‑capitalism and its global implications
Afghanistan’s economy amid U.S. withdrawal
Cryptocurrency and its relation to inflation
Sanctions and their economic impact
Polycrisis—interlinked crises such as climate change, inflation, and geopolitical conflict
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its economic fallout
Global electrification and the just transition
G7 investment gap, China trade surplus, and China heatwave
Mentions of the Lotus Tower and the Frontier Supercomputer projects

The newsletters are organized chronologically and include embedded charts that illustrate trends and data points. The Treasury‑Market file provides additional context on U.S. sovereign debt dynamics.

Scope

The archive documents global economic and political trends from late 2020 to mid‑2021, with a focus on financial markets, fiscal policy, and historical context. Geographically, it covers the United States, Europe, Asia, and global developments. The material is intended for scholars, students, and policy analysts interested in economic history, political economy, and contemporary financial markets. It does not include raw data sets beyond those embedded in the charts; the collection emphasizes narrative analysis and visual representation.
