Dollars & Sense is Looking for Pitches about the Economy

Dollars & Sense publishes a bimonthly magazine and textbooks that cover economic news and analysis. Their editor is looking for pitches. They pay for “researched or reported articles on the economy from a left/progressive POV.” A few ideas they would love to see are:

- “Economists say the economy is going great; voters don't. What gives?

- What the heck is the Fed doing? Is it even still about inflation?

- Macro and environmental effects of EVs and chips. A new scramble for raw materials?

- AI hype or reality?

- Effects of Biden bringing back student debt on the economy and on inequality in particular

- What would it actually look like, economically, to meet the CO2 reduction goals IPCC and others say are imperative?

- And more”

They pay $250 for shorter pieces and $450 for features. Send your pitches to beckett@dollarsandsense.org. To learn more, refer to their editor’s post and this page.
