I’m Charlie Crowson, a finance professional with a background in event-driven and macro trading and investment.

I used to write a macro market commentary for a fund I worked at, and got the sense that a lot of people were fascinated by markets and economics but put off of by the unnecessary jargon and the vast amount of assumed knowledge that went with most publications on the topic.

This blog is an attempt to cut through all that verbiage and present the issues and debates currently going on in markets and the economy in a clear and understandable manner.
