This is the final weekly edition of Economic Principals. A new monthly version will commence Sunday June 2, and thereafter arrive on the first Sunday of each month. The new letter will feel its way to a different form, longer and more expansive. Content? More of the same.
This change creates a quandary for paid subscribers.
My hope is that many subscribers will choose to let their current subscriptions continue until they end. (To those who have already expressed a willingness to do just that, many thanks, yet again) Substack will notify you a week before the auto-renew feature is scheduled to kick in. Decide then whether you want to continue or not.
Others will want to cancel their subscription now. Follow these simple instructions and drop me a note at warsh.economicprincipals.com if you want a prorated refund. I will arrange it through Substack. It may take 7-10 days to appear on your credit card. Monthly subscribers can quit at any time.
The thousand or so free subscribers may stay on the list and receive via email the top of the monthly you’re missing. Some will choose to become paid subscribers, but most will not. I am sorry to lose you.
EP is making this change in order to finish a book about some recent developments in economics. I think of it as a sequel to Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations: A story of economic discovery (Norton, 2006). The new book is at least as interesting as the old one, or so I believe, and probably more so. If all goes well, it will appear in 2026.

I'm in for the long haul.
