I will always check out @supratic’s posts, in whatever territory he chooses. This week he posted here, and I’m glad he did. You’ll learn a bit about the history of fiat banking and debt in this post. Check it out.

- Weekend Book Recommendations by @sn
This is a nostalgic choice for me. Before the proliferation of territories, @sn used to regularly make these posts. I always found something interesting to read. After I started this territory the posts were made here. I’m not certain, but I think a stacker has resumed making posts of this type in the ~meta territory.

You know, I really liked your post
#624176
but it was timed right near the end of the week, and I didn't see it until after I published it. Otherwise I would have included it as a suggestion. I'll remember for next week.
Thanks! I'll also remember to post in the evening (by India time);the next time so you may find it easily.
The poem in that post was composed by a Nobel prize winner. Fo you know about him! He was the first non-English Nobel prize for literature winner as well.
Thanks for the newsletter. I don't see so much engagement in this territory as well. What's happening?
I'm hoping it's summer doldrums. We'll see.
Yes. I also think so.
Thanks for the mention @siggy47, that post is a chapter of an entire uncopyrighted book BILLIONS FOR BANKERS - DEBT FOR THE PEOPLE by Sheldon Emry I’ve republished here on SN.
More info in my foreword (the first I ever wrote 😅) and chapter’s index on #622479 post
Thanks for compiling. Reminded me to give @cleophas’ new book a try
