American in Germany, works in health care research. He mainly writes about covid, German/Euro politics and political philosophy (in descending order of focus). Very not-FITs.
There are a lot of great ones out there but the only one I would pay for would be if marginal revolution moved to substack. I've been wondering why they haven't, how much money are they leaving on the table...
Hrm - first I'll self promote my own (too sporadic) writings which are generally on institutions writ large, Congress, interesting threads from FIT-types and energy policy matters; all things I like to think I know something about. It's a bit rude to suggest jumping in part way but I'd point to my Part 2 of my ongoing thoughts on institutional decay within Congress and some of the incentive structures we have in place:
Along the lines of ever-greater specialization to stand out a la the blog-o-sphere - I can't resist pointing to this post (as one of many excellent examples) in Brian Potter's substack focusing on the construction industry and costs/processes/opportunities for innovation. Brian is now being supported by the excellent Institute for Progress. I highly recommend his multi-part series on nuclear construction costs and lessons to be learned from ship-building. The NEPA primer is somewhat basic but a good primer as well.

Absolutely fascinating. One of the best things I've read all year. I'd be surprised if you didn't already read this. But maybe you hadn't.
