Ledger is an independent newsletter about money, markets and the business of everyday life. We explain how the economy works in plain English, for people who are busy, sensible and slightly wary of the money industry.
What we publish
The Brief arrives every weekday morning: the stories that matter, in five minutes. Longer explainers cover markets, the economy, companies and personal finance. Every week, our Chart of the week turns one idea into one clear picture.
What we do not do
We do not give personal financial advice, we do not recommend individual shares and we never accept payment to write about a product. Nothing on Ledger is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
How we are funded
Most of Ledger is free. Subscribers get every explainer, the full archive and our monthly deep dives, and they are the reason we can stay independent.
