Chartbook Newsletter Collection

Overview

The Chartbook Newsletter Collection is a digital archive of newsletters authored by economist Adam Tooze. The collection, created on 15 November 2020, is hosted by the institution chartbook‑3 and is available in English. It comprises 29 newsletters (Chartbook #1–#29) published between 15 November 2020 and 31 July 2021. Each newsletter is a short, data‑rich commentary on contemporary economic, financial, or geopolitical developments, often accompanied by charts and links.

Background

Adam Tooze, a former Harvard professor and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, launched the Chartbook series to provide timely analysis of global economic trends. The series is distributed through a subscription model (monthly $5, annual $50, or Founders Club $120). The collection is licensed under copyright 2020‑2023, with an access URL placeholder indicating that the material is hosted on the PINAX platform.

Contents

The newsletters cover a wide range of subjects, including:
  • Economic policy and global economics: U.S. Treasury market volatility, fiscal policy debates, and European debt relief.
  • Financial markets: Bond market dynamics, hedge‑fund activity, and central‑bank interventions (Fed, IMF, ECB).
  • International relations: U.S.–China strategy, European Union recovery funds, and the political economy of China’s state capitalism.
  • Climate and technology: Climate policy, carbon markets, and the rise of Bitcoin.
  • Historical and regional case studies: World War II economic history, Weimar hyperinflation, and Afghanistan’s economy post‑exit.

Key newsletters include #5 (Treasury market turmoil), #8 (China’s growth and debt story), #14 (bond vigilantes), #18 (Mario Draghi’s career), #23 (Biden–China chronology), and #29 (Afghanistan’s economy). The collection also references related reports such as the Federal Reserve’s Financial Stability Report (Nov 2020) and the IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report (Oct 2020).

Scope

The collection is geographically global, with a focus on the United States, China, Europe, and Asia, but it also addresses broader global economic and political themes. It spans the period from late 2020 through mid‑2021, capturing the economic fallout of the COVID‑19 pandemic, the U.S. fiscal response, and evolving U.S.–China relations. The material is suitable for researchers, policymakers, and students interested in contemporary economic analysis and the interplay between finance, politics, and strategy.
