Chartbook Newsletter July 2021 Collection and Related Materials

Overview

This digital archive holds the July 2021 issues of the Chartbook Newsletter series, produced by historian Adam Tooze for the research‑publishing platform chartbook‑2. Stored in the PINAX system, the collection is presented in English and carries an “All rights reserved” copyright notice. It is a composite record that includes the newsletter issues themselves, subscription‑related communications, curated link lists, and a set of draft newsletters prepared for the Financial Times in 2023.

Background

Adam Tooze launched the Chartbook Newsletter as a free, data‑rich commentary on global economic history. In July 2021 the publication transitioned to a paid subscription model, a change documented in the collection’s subscription announcements. The newsletters draw on primary sources such as the 1948 China Aid Act and the 1948 introduction of the Gold Yuan, situating China’s hyperinflation within the broader contexts of World War II, the Chinese Civil War, and post‑war financial negotiations involving the IMF and World Bank. The collection was created on 2020‑11‑15 and is maintained by chartbook‑2.

Contents

  • Newsletter Issues: Issues 26–28, covering topics from China’s hyperinflation (1930s‑1960s) to the World Bank’s 1983 report on China.
  • Subscription Announcements: Details of new subscription tiers (annual, monthly, Founders Club) and the first paid issue (#28).
  • Top Links: Five curated link lists highlighting recent articles and resources.
  • Draft FT Newsletters (2023): Five HTML files covering themes such as big‑tech and the 2008 crisis, European late modernity, and the Bundesbank’s debt‑purchase operation.
  • Linked Themes: References to World War II, the Chinese Civil War, EU climate policy (Fit For 55), Brexit, carbon pricing, financial markets, and the G7 Summit 1991.
  • Geopolitical Context: Discussions on the gold rush in Sudan, the Sahel, resource extraction, military forces, and regional dynamics across Sudan, Darfur, Khartoum, Jebel Amir, the Red Sea, the Horn of Africa, Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Egypt, the UAE, Russia, and the United States.

Scope

The archive covers material created from July 2021 through mid‑2023. Geographically, it references Sudan, the Sahel, China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Europe (notably Germany). Thematic coverage spans economic history, monetary policy, subscription strategy, and draft editorial planning for a major financial newspaper. The collection does not include the full text of every newsletter issue beyond Issue 28, nor the underlying research data for the cited articles.
