Author: Jan Bostl

Jan Bostl is the founder and editor of Veritas Europaea, a reader-funded publication covering European political economy, finance, and geopolitics. He writes from an equity-research background as portfolio manager, which shapes the publication’s approach: follow the money, read the primary sources, and treat a claim as unproven until the numbers support it. That discipline is why Veritas Europaea’s work is built on named sourcing and verifiable figures rather than anonymous speculation or recycled wire copy. His reporting focuses on the places where finance and politics meet — sovereign debt and currency policy, the economics of conflict, industrial and energy strategy, and the structural forces reshaping the European economy. Recent investigations include Europe’s holdings of US Treasury debt as a geopolitical instrument, the unit economics behind the AI investment boom, and the long-term cost of Brexit to the British economy.
