Economic Affairs Bureau Inc

The Economic Affairs Bureau, Inc. is a nonprofit, collectively-run organization that explains essential economic concepts by placing them in their real-world context. EAB publishes Dollars & Sense magazine, economics books that are used in college and high school social science courses, and a wide variety of resources available free online at dollarsandsense.org. These publications are educating thousands of students, professors, journalists, activists, and the general public about current economic issues and challenges to the status quo.

The Economic Affairs Bureau also partners with educational institutions and other nonprofit organizations, providing research and editorial support for projects related to popular economics education, organizing, and activism. EAB has worked with community organizers, labor educators, advocacy groups, and grassroots activists to help improve the economic literacy of their members. This is a critical time for social change movements to develop a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of current economic issues. EAB is helping to meet a great need among progressive organizations and networks for timely and compelling popular economics educational materials, such as curricula, primers, and anthologies.

From its beginning in 1974, the Economics Affairs Bureau has been a worker-run, collectively managed organization. This organizational structure fits with the mission to challenge orthodox economics, to promote progressive economics, and to help build a movement for a new economic system.
