Happy Thanksgiving! Whether you’re gathered around a full table or simply enjoying a quiet break, I hope today gives you a chance to pause and reflect.

I want to take a moment to thank you for being part of the Monday Morning Economist community. Your engagement, curiosity, and enthusiasm are what make this project meaningful.

This year, we’ve welcomed thousands of new subscribers. It just goes to show that learning economics doesn’t have to be boring or inaccessible. I’m truly grateful for every time you’ve read, forwarded, or shared a post.

As a token of thanks, I’m continuing our tradition of giving back by donating half of all the revenue earned from paid subscriptions this year to Feeding America. That’s all possible because of your support. Thank you.

With gratitude,
