Description

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 29 individual issues (Chartbook #1–#29) plus a supplemental Treasury‑Market file, covering the period from November 2020 through July 2021.

Background

Adam Tooze, a professor of history at Oxford University, founded the Chartbook newsletter to distil complex economic data into concise, 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.

Each newsletter is a short, chart‑laden analysis that pairs visual data with brief commentary on contemporary economic and political developments. Key themes include:

The 2020 U.S. Treasury market “dash for cash” (Chartbook #1).
Brexit’s fiscal implications (Chartbook #3).
Bond vigilantes and the 1994 bond‑market massacre (Chartbook #4, #14).
China’s state‑capitalism model (Chartbook #9, #13).
Nigeria’s economic crossroads (Chartbook #10).
Euro‑area challenges in 2021 (Chartbook #12).
Biden’s families plan (Chartbook #19).
Caribbean and Central American crises (Chartbook #20).
Historical case studies such as Weimar hyperinflation (Chartbook #22) and China’s hyperinflation (Chartbook #26).
Afghanistan’s economy on the eve of the U.S. exit (Chartbook #29).

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.
