Why Subscribe?
No matter your background, there's something here for you every Monday morning.
When I started this newsletter, I hoped it would help people see how economics shows up in everyday life. Over time, it’s grown into a weekly routine for thousands of readers across education, policy, business, and beyond.
I asked readers why they subscribe to Monday Morning Economists. Here’s what some of them had to say:
🧑🏫 High School & College Teachers
“It’s one of the easiest ways to add real-world, real-time examples to my lessons. The students enjoy the posts (they find them more engaging than the textbook), so reading actually gets done!”
– Aisling W. (University Professor)“I first started reading for use in my classroom: 12th grade Econ and Government class. Monday Morning Economist gave me a one-stop-shop for something useful and relevant that applies economic theory. I always wanted students to know that economics is all around us all the time and how it relates to them. I’m retired now and keep reading.”
– Brian S. (Retired HS Teacher)

🎓 Students & Recent Grads
“It gives me something thought provoking and a quick glimpse into ideas I miss learning about in college. Part of the reason why I majored in economics was this newsletter helping me see how interesting and important economics is.”
– Nathan W. (Recent Economics Graduate)“It gives me insight into things from an economic perspective. As an economics student, there aren’t many trusted sources out there. I also enjoy that some of the topics cover current pop culture trends. They make the reading more enjoyable.”
– Jasmine F. (Current Economics Student)
🤔 Econ-Curious Readers
“I dig getting lesson on economic principles that are well written, relevant, and concise. Scratching my curiosity itch but doesn’t require, say, listening to an hour-long podcast.”
(Professional Sandwich Connoisseur)
–“It’s like a newsletter full of fun facts. I like that you dive into current affairs — both serious and lighthearted — and explain the issues in clear, accessible language. I’m not in a field even remotely related to economics, so I really appreciate the breadth of coverage.”
– Gargi L. (Architect)
