Hi – Here at Civic Action, we know understanding economic news while navigating a deluge of trickle-down spin from politicians and pundits can be difficult. Over the years, most reporters have unconsciously absorbed the endless neoliberal nonsense that prioritizes the wealthy over everyone else, and those biases come through in their reporting – which can in turn influence readers like you. Thankfully, our very own Paul Constant – who gets paid to separate myth from reality every day – has offered to answer all your burning questions about the economy!

Already have a question in mind? Follow this link to submit your response now, and Paul will select a handful of questions to highlight in an upcoming email!

Paul is a political and economic writer with a weekly column in Business Insider. He writes about topics like the latest labor strikes, how corporate greed contributes to rising prices, and how the broken childcare system is harming the economy. He also works with our Pitchfork Economics podcast, in which we’ve interviewed guests ranging from Congressman Ro Khanna to former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich to the founders of Ben & Jerry’s.

This week, Paul is opening up the floor to questions from Civic Action supporters like you. Trickle-downers love to make economics sound more complicated than it is in order to confuse ordinary people – so feel free to ask anything, at any difficulty level! Maybe you want to ask about rising inflation or the recent boom in unionization or President Biden’s economic policies? It’s all fair game, and Paul will try to answer as many questions as he can in an upcoming email.

So, go ahead, and ask away: Follow this link to ask Paul about your latest economic quandaries. >>

We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
