Why subscribe?

You probably shouldn’t, given how many emails we all get these days. But if you like FT Alphaville stuff and would like it delivered weekly to your inbox then this is the thing for you. If you like occasional additional thoughts on finance and economics from me then this is perfect. If you like neither I’d probably avoid, tbqh.

Is this free?

Yes. And it will remain so. I’m lucky enough to have a side hustle in the form of a relatively safe, relatively well-remunerated staff job at a major newspaper (something that is admittedly slowly going the way of the dodo) so I don’t need or want to monetise this newsletter.

It is purely a way for me to talk about my old book (on passive investing) my new book (on the history of the bond market) and deliver crisp content FT Alphaville (the blog I run) in a convenient, somewhat invasive but voluntary and easily-unsubscribable quasi-weekly package.
