Dear Smartertimes reader:
Thank you for being a loyal Smartertimes reader and supporter. I'm excited to share some changes that will accelerate the spread of our vision and increase our impact:
The Smartertimes.com and FutureofCapitalism email newsletters are merging into a single new publication called The Editors. This new name reflects a wider editorial focus on trustworthy information and analysis defending and expanding freedom and prosperity.
The Editors will be hosted on the Substack technology platform. You may already be familiar with Substack as many prominent writers, editors, and thinkers—"Instapundit" Glenn Reynolds, "EconTalker" Russ Roberts, historians of Israel Michael Oren and Daniel Gordis, "Grumpy Economist" John Cochrane, "Free Press" founder Bari Weiss—are on it.
I would very much welcome your support as a founding member of The Editors. Our last subscription drive was in August 2020 and FutureOfCapitalism.com has published more than 75 posts since then. An advantage Substack has for editors and writers is its well-integrated monetization mechanism. If you found us valuable and would like to receive and support similar analysis and commentary in the future, please subscribe to TheEditors.com.
With a war and a presidential campaign under way, with public trust in news media approaching all-time lows, and with technology making it easier than ever to connect directly with readers, it's hard to recall or imagine a more favorable moment for growth of this venture. I'm eager to seize the opportunity, and I appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions at [email protected].
Appreciatively,
Ira Stoll
