In Our Economy …

When elites talk about "the economy," they're not talking about you.

When the President says we have "the greatest economy ever" or the Treasury Secretary says 2026 is poised to be a "feast and the banquet" for the American economy, they're not talking about you. They're not even talking about people.

When elites talk about "the economy," they're talking about money. More than that, they're talking about money making money. All of which goes to people who are rich to begin with.

In Our Economy is a blog about the economy as people experience it. It's about families working to survive – struggling to survive – in an economy that's rigged.

What sets this blog apart from many other great projects about inequality is that most posts contain new analyses of complex survey data to drive a point home. Countless sources can tell you that World Cup ticket prices are insanely expensive – this is the place where you can find hard data showing how many American families can't afford them.
