Our Approach
Every week, we question mainstream economic narratives with rigorous, data-driven analysis
Question the Narrative
We identify the mainstream story and ask: What's the consensus view? Who's telling it? What assumptions are being made? We don't accept economic narratives at face value.
Examine the Evidence
We dig into the actual data. What do the numbers really say? Are there contradictions? What's being left out? We show our work and cite our sources so you can verify everything.
Follow the Money
We track incentives and conflicts of interest. Who benefits from this narrative? What are the second-order effects? We expose the gaps between what's said and what's done.
