I’m devoting most of this issue to what I’ve been up to here in France. I’m also (as you’ve come to expect) giving you my take on what I consider to be important and/or thought-provoking stories in the news, and (what you may not expect) I’m getting back to writing about two subjects that I pretty much abandoned when I started this blog in 2020.

As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, I’ve been covering a lot of territory here. From a business perspective, it might have been smarter for me to stick to subjects I could “monetize” (as young people are so fond of saying), especially wealth building, which was my focus when I was writing Creating Wealth. But when I started this blog, I had spent 29 years thinking and writing about topics related to making money, and I was burned out.

Now, though, I’m getting back into the trenches of business and finance, and I’m enjoying it. So, once again, I’m going to be writing about those broad and interesting subjects.

What I won’t be doing, however, is giving up writing in-depth pieces about the admittedly controversial topics I’ve been covering for the past five or so years, because I still enjoy thinking about them. But I’ll try to keep those issues to a reasonable number of words by having J, my editor, cut out more of the fluff in the future.
