Chartbook Newsletter Collection

Overview

The Chartbook Newsletter Collection is a digital archive of newsletters produced by historian Adam Tooze under his media brand Chartbook. Created on 10 September 2021, the collection comprises 41 individual issues (numbered 1–41) that appear as text newsletters, audio clips, and video segments. Each issue is dated, titled, and labeled with an audience designation (free, paid, or all). The collection is presented in English and is hosted on the PINAX platform, with all rights reserved.

Background

Adam Tooze, a professor of history at the University of Oxford, founded Chartbook in 2021 to disseminate concise, data‑rich analyses of contemporary economic and political developments. The newsletters draw on a range of primary sources, including OECD statistics, Financial Times reporting, and academic literature. The archive preserves the original digital files (HTML, audio, and video) and metadata that link each newsletter to its thematic subjects and external references.

Contents

The collection covers a broad spectrum of topics:
  • Economic crises (e.g., Evergrande debt crisis, Greek debt, Covid‑19 death tolls).
  • Political events (German federal election 2021, U.S. debt‑ceiling debate).
  • Global finance and policy (infrastructure and reconciliation bills, international monetary standards).
  • Historical analysis (cross‑referencing works such as Das Kapital and the Cross‑of‑Gold speech).
Each issue includes curated links, data visualisations, and commentary. The archive also contains audio interviews (e.g., with Bruno Macaes and Sophia Gaston) and video discussions.

Scope

The collection documents events and analyses primarily from 2021–2022, with a global geographic focus that includes the United States, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other international contexts. It is limited to English‑language content and is intended for researchers, students, and policy analysts interested in economic history, political economy, and international relations. The archive does not include unpublished drafts or personal correspondence beyond the published newsletters.
