This is the 47th piece I've written and published this year. And as those who read my pieces can attest, we're not talking short and easy writing. Knock on wood, I think I'll be able to hit 52 pieces this year. Which is an insane rate of output. At 34 dollars for a year, my birthday sale is a steal

Take out a paid subscription here. Deep research like this- which included quite a variety of archival materials- is just not economically worth doing for newsletters. Any positive financial feedback helps make it thinkable to do something crazy like this again www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/signup
