Paid subscriber discounts

25% off until 23 March; 50% off for academic, government and not-for-profits

As foreshadowed in the 2022 year in review, the newsletter is going paid as of this month. Future posts will be paywalled after a preview, but you will continue to receive the email even if you are a free subscriber. Paid subscriptions are AUD 9.99/month (approximately USD 6.80 at current exchange rates for those of you offshore). But before you all smash that subscribe button, here are some special offers.

There is a lifetime 25% discount on offer if you subscribe between now and 23 March:

There is a standing 50% discount for those who subscribe via domains associated with educational institutions. I am guessing alumni email addresses will also work with this feature. Substack manages the eligible domains, but let me know if you encounter any issues:

I have also created a standing 50% discount for .gov and .org email domains in Australia, the US, the UK and NZ. I am happy to extend this offer to other countries, just ask:

There is a standing discounted annual rate available through the regular subscribe button, but I reserve the right to discontinue publication at any time. In that event, a pro-rata discount will be given to anyone who requests one:

There is also a yearly founding member plan for those who want to gratuitously encourage this project. Anyone who contributes as a founding member between now and 23 March will go into the draw to win a hardback copy of Scott Sumner’s The Money Illusion. Use the ‘Subscribe now’ button above.

If you are interested in a bespoke institutional or group subscription rate, drop me a line and we can work something out. Substack’s payments platform, Stripe, supports invoicing for those looking to expense their subscription.

You can also donate a gift subscription (imagine their surprise!):

I am happy to comp other newsletter writers a subscription for one year in exchange for a shout-out to their readers (don’t forget to mention the above offers). If I like your newsletter, I will gladly reciprocate the mention.

Thank you for your readership and support.
