  • Important Acknowledgment

    We progressives can learn from the rapid implementation of policies that Trump is doing now.

  • My all time favorite podcast

    I have been listening to Pitchfork Economics since 2019. I’ve never missed an episode and I recommend it to people about once a week, no exaggeration. It has helped me become way more informed on macroeconomic issues and been a gateway to tons of learning about how the economy isn’t working for so many people. Could not recommend more highly!
