The Overshoot
Macro economics, argued with the underlying data.
About
The Overshoot covers macroeconomics with an emphasis on grounding arguments in the underlying data rather than punditry: inflation, monetary policy, growth debates. Readers who want rigorous economic analysis without an academic background are the fit.
Its writing tends to walk through the data behind a claim before making it, pushing back on economic narratives that don't hold up under scrutiny. That gives it a more evidence-first character than commentary that leads with a political conclusion.
