200!
Onwards and upwards!
I’ve reached a new milestone of 200 subscribers (and over 300 followers)! In celebration, I’ve actually lit the candles on the cake this time.
Thank you to each one of you!
For anyone new, if you haven’t checked out the pinned post yet, I’d highly recommend it. It’s less than 20 minutes’ reading (according to Substack!), and it’ll make the other articles much easier to understand. In particular, it shows how thinking in terms of everyone’s “Raw Net Worth” (what they own + what they’re owed - what they owe) makes economics as easy to understand as barter1. Then your intuition will be a good guide to some extremely controversial questions in economics. The pinned post also has a link to a topic index, where I’ve grouped all of the articles I’ve written over nearly 3 years into categories: money and banking, macroeconomics, double-entry bookkeeping, and more.
Also, I’d be very interested to hear from you in the comments about your background, how you came across this blog, any feedback you have, and whether there are any topics you’re interested in me covering. Otherwise, I have a few ideas in mind:
At some point, I’ll do the second half of the UK Exchequer series.
Illustrating Perry Mehrling’s “Economics of Money and Banking” lectures.
The economics of Minecraft.
Thanks again for reading, and remember the One Lesson!
I know lots of economists will find this hard to believe, but what can I say? It’s what I’ve found. Let me know if you think you can disprove it.
