A big New Years surprise! We are launching a monthly newsletter, along the lines of “Best of Naked Capitalism” for the preceding month, including reader comments.
Those of you who have shown a tolerance for getting missives from us, either via having subscribed to our daily e-mail or by being on our fundraiser e-mailing list, will automagically receive our monthly newsletter, and you will get our first installment posthaste. If you’d rather not receive this missive, which will go out on or shortly after the first of the month, please use the unsubscribe button at the bottom of every e-mail.
If you would like to subscribe and aren’t in either group now…we have an unduly manual process for getting you added until our trusty code wrangler Dave sets up a new subscription button. Please e-mail me at yves-at-nakedcapitalism.com with “Newsletter” in the subject line. We’ll gather all the requests we get in the next week and send the January newsletter out in a week to you. You’ll remain on that list unless you unsubscribe.
I had also promised readers that I’d get back to them on Arizona Slim’s idea of a mini-fundraiser in honor of my mother, who died on Christmas Day. As much as I very much appreciate the generous offers of support, which another reader suggested would provide for the equivalent of a few weeks of bereavement leave, it is one thing for readers to volunteer to make an extra contribution and another for the site to pass the hat.
So if it either had already occurred to you that we might be a little capacity strained off and on in 2022 and you wanted to help, or you read the discussion following Arizona Slim’s proposal and were positively disposed, please proceed as planned!
If you would instead like to honor my mother in the traditional manner by making a donation to a charity in her name, she gave widely but not deeply. However, two she did support regularly in recent years were Exchange Club, which seeks to break the cycle of child abuse, and the Snow Leopard Trust.

The newsletter gave me a smile to start my day. It was particularly welcome because I rarely have the bandwidth to read the “Links” comments.
Keep ‘em coming!
Yves and NC crew. It was a nice surprise getting the newsletter, a great idea. As always I’m thankful for all you do.
This is a good thing–I think.
I think this will lead to an expansion of Topics and Discussions among a new cohort of exposed readers.
I think there are many more of the like minded seeking, but not yet connected to, the Topics and Dialogues brought forward by the determined Hosts and creators here at NC on a daily basis.
As an aside–after watching the recent movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ and reflecting on the many issues it raises–I have been pondering the deliberate editorial/directing choice of Dr Mindy’s co-opted compliance and the subtlety of how proximity to Power is so infuential.
Dear Yves, excuse me for not having realized sooner that your mother had passed away. You were a great daughter and tiger-fighter on her behalf. You’ve managed difficult challenges in the past few years and revealed gaps in the medical and elder care system; I hope the coming year brings you peace and healing.
What a splendid idea! Thanks for thinking of this nice enhancement.
It was just the post-New Years morale boost that I needed after seeing the perfect image to sum up 2021: https://twitter.com/postcarbonsteve/status/1476960856575336454/photo/1
Thank you! Received, and delighted!
Will you make the monthly newsletter available as an RSS feed?
I would like to contribute in honor of Yves and her mother. What is the contact information.
I would also like to receive the monthly newsletter. I don’t see a place to sign up or contact information for the person in charge.
Here’s the info for signing up for the monthly newsletter…

We don’t have that set up yet.

Monthly newsletter arrived safely. I’m looking for ways to skim and prioritize flood of information, so this helps.
Donated to the Snow Leopard Trust.
PS: The plush Snow Leopard was a huge hit with the grandchild. A marvelous gift. Thanks for the suggestion.
This should be a good addition to NC. Giving a recap of the previous month helps create context and highlights the important stories that happened that may have been buried in all the noise of other articles. I will look forward to the monthly newsletters, especially for mention of stories that I may have missed.
Looking forward to the newsletter! Great way to start the new year.
Thank you SO VERY much for the monthly recap newsletter! It was a beautiful surprise and much appreciated. Yves, Lambert and everyone here at Nakedcapitalism, you bring mountains of joy in this !?!?!?!? world.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your Mother.
We are very pleased with the responses!
Good call.
