Yes, Richard your voice is much needed today with the way we are going. Your economics knowledge is needed. As said earlier. most economists are owned and worthless mostly. You seem to be able to speak freely and with common sense.
Yes, read Doomberg (substack too), they are brilliant at telling a story, we all love stories, and then they tie it in with relevant topics of the day. They stay very pertinent. They also use research and facts as much as possible too.
I think you should try to appeal to people who are curious and care about what is going on in their country BUT just don't have the time to dig out facts and figures to understand todays topics? These people work a lot and can't spend 6-8 hours a day sifting through lies, BS, politics, influencers who are full of it, media that are owned, ect. to figure out the truth. Thats where you come in. Tell a little story, perk their interest, then give them answers or reasons why it's going down with real facts and figures, not dogma and BS. The truth.
Now your invaluable and I can't wait to read you when you send your stuff out!
Welcome Richard. About time you got over here. I've been signed up with you for 6 or 7 years now. I'm not really a big lover of economists. I think most are full of academic crap and just mouth pieces for their owner / handlers. But you always come across as for-real and not owned. And you always have evidence and facts to back up what you say. Can be dry at times but hey no one said it was going to be easy right?
Jeff, Thank you for your kind welcome and for your vote of confidence. I’m excited about adding Macro Watch to the Substack platform. Any suggestions on how to make the most of Substack? Thanks!
