Chartbook

By Adam Tooze

A newsletter on economics, geopolitics and history from Adam Tooze. More substantial than the twitter feed. More freewheeling than what you might read from me in FT, Foreign Policy, New Statesman.

I don’t always agree with Adam, but I usually find his take on economics and geopolitics fascinating.
