A PERSONAL SHARE
I have one subscriber who reads a single chapter of my book every week, than emails me every Sunday morning with his feedback.
He's 75, and has no idea how to use the Substack app. He will never see this note.
It makes my entire week when I get his email. He is a wonderful soul, funny and lovely, and he keeps me moving forward.
How do I even repay that?

Me tryna explain why I love reading personal essays by intelligent women on Substack
you have never had an original thought.
and you never will.
but this is not an insult. it’s a gift.
the mind is a collector, a curator, a weaver of threads that existed before you.
your originality is not in what you think, but in how you combine, twist, and breathe life into what has already been known.
you are an instrument, not a source.
play your song.
Counter to much of the online commentary, Abundance is not a clever rebranding of Neoliberalism 2.0. Drawing on the work of historian Gary Gerstle, the authors write:
The New Deal order rose in the 1930s and collapsed in the 1970s. The neoliberal order rose in the 1970s and declined in the 2010s.
We are now seeing the emergence of a 21st century “political order”.
