Chartbook Newsletter

Overview

The Chartbook Newsletter is a digital collection of newsletters and articles authored by historian Adam Tooze. Created on 17 April 2022 and hosted by the Chartbook platform, the series is published in English and is available through a PINAX‑managed access point. The collection comprises twelve issues (Chartbook #112–#118, #113, #114, #115, #116, #117, #119, #120, #122, #360) and covers a wide range of economic‑historical topics, from World War II to contemporary macro‑policy.

Background

Adam Tooze is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a noted author of works on economic history and the global economy. The Chartbook series is a quarterly newsletter that blends rigorous research with accessible commentary, aiming to illuminate the economic forces shaping current events. The collection was assembled in 2022 as part of Chartbook’s effort to archive its most recent issues for scholarly use.

Contents

Each issue contains a main essay and supplementary commentary. Key subjects include:
  • Economic & financial history (e.g., inflation, sovereign debt, commodity liquidity)
  • World War II and post‑war policy (Lend‑Lease, Marshall Plan, Versailles Treaty)
  • Contemporary geopolitical economics (Ukraine–Russia conflict, Azovstal steel mill, Javelin missile)
  • Sectoral analyses (energy, defense industries, crypto regulation, palm oil)
  • Historical analogies (Nazi billionaires, Weimar Republic, Marx’s birthday)

Notable articles: “Tension in the Dollar‑System” (Chartbook #113), “Inflation Is Hurting, But Will It Last?” (Chartbook #112), “China’s Growth Prospects” (Chartbook #118), “Azovstal – Mariupol’s Final Battlefield” (Chartbook #114), and the forthcoming 2025 issue “War Economies? Disentangling the Polycrisis” (Chartbook #360).

Scope

The collection spans the period from 1941‑1945 (Lend‑Lease) to 2025, covering global economic developments across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Ireland, South Asia, Indonesia, and Switzerland. It includes analyses of policy responses to inflation, energy crises, and geopolitical conflicts, as well as comparative studies of historical aid programs. The archive is restricted to users with appropriate rights; all content is copyrighted.
