The Full Book (Table of Contents)

Here is a chapter outline, with links.

This Substack has been an intriguing experiment, and I’m glad so many readers responded positively to the serialized format. But I recognize trying to consume a book in randomly emailed chunks is not an ideal experience for everyone.

To provide an option of reading SMIRK in sequential order, I have assembled a full table of contents with links. Obviously, in order to read it straight through including paid posts, you will need a paid subscription. Sections that are free or paid are identified.

Note that because of Substack email length limits, I have to send the table of contents in two parts. This email includes links to the first 10 chapters of SMIRK. A follow-up email after this will contain the rest of the SMIRK links. (Here is a link to the second part of the table of contents.)

Thank you again, for your interest in SMIRK!

If you enjoy my work, please keep following to receive Black Sheep, my ongoing spin-off publication about other financial frauds and follies.
