Please prepare yourself for months of shameless self-promotion, mute me on socials, feel free to avoid me in public etc, because my next book — A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World — is now officially available for pre-orders.

WallStreetBets' comment letter on the SEC's proposal to scrap quarterly earnings reports was surprisingly excellent. And it touched upon a big but under-appreciated issue I've been thinking about for a while. ft.com/content/9cc70c…

Over time I've worked at it and become better, and now enjoy writing immensely. But still not as much as I enjoy learning. The best thing about being a journalist is that you're basically a perpetual student, but you get paid to do it.

I wouldnt say that I ever hated writing. I always liked writing. But I mostly loved reading, learning and figuring things out, and for a long time I joked that I only wrote to get paid.

It took enormous restraint to launch a podcast called “The Story of Money” and not *immediately* do an episode on the remarkable Rai stones of Yap. But here it is, featuring both the wonderful Felix Martin and Burt Lancaster. ft.com/content/d9fc38…

Seems like one of the few things keeping Starmer’s premiership alive is the bond market. I wonder how a pseudo war tax first invented in Venice a thousand years ago came to grow, evolve and enjoy such immense power in the modern world? Someone should write a book about it!

Some rival trading firms and bank trading heads argue it’s unfair to compare Jane Street’s results to theirs, given Jane's willingness and ability to make a lot of prop bets bets. They’re not wrong. But how does it stack up against the hedge fund elite? Pretty well... ft.com/content/4ff0d7…
