Chartbook Newsletter: Historical and Economic Analysis

Overview

This is a digital collection of eight newsletters (Chartbook #147–#154) produced by Adam Tooze for the Chartbook Org. The series was created on 26 August 2022 and is written in English. Each newsletter is a standalone article that blends historical context with contemporary economic and political analysis. The collection is available through the Chartbook website (access URL placeholder) and is fully copyrighted.

Background

Chartbook Org is a newsletter series that publishes concise, data‑driven essays on global economics, politics, and history. Adam Tooze, a former senior economist at the World Bank and current author, serves as the series’ principal writer. The 2022 volume covers events from the Jackson Hole monetary policy conference to the Italian general election, reflecting the organization’s focus on the intersection of policy, markets, and historical trends.

Contents

  • Chartbook #149 – “Success on the battlefield whilst the pressure mounts on Ukraine’s home front” (10 Sep 2022) discusses Ukraine’s war economics and IMF findings.
  • Chartbook #150 – “Why ‘cheap Russian gas’ was a strategic snare but not the secret to German export success” (12 Sep 2022) critiques German energy policy.
  • Chartbook #151 – “Zugzwang – are we on the brink of a central banking paradigm shift?” (16 Sep 2022) explores the concept of polycrisis.
  • Chartbook #152 – “The anti‑inflation pivot of 2022 – How uncoordinated & contractionary monetary & fiscal policy risk a global recession” (18 Sep 2022).
  • Chartbook #154 – “Who is going to vote for Italy’s right‑wing coalition?” (23 Sep 2022) analyzes the 2022 Italian election and the rise of Fratelli d’Italia.

Scope

It includes comparative analyses, policy critiques, and historical framing, but does not provide primary data sets or exhaustive literature reviews.
