What makes this newsletter different?
One concept, fully explained
Instead of covering everything superficially, each issue goes deep on a single topic. You leave knowing exactly what it means and why it matters — not just that it exists.
Plain language, always
We write for people who haven't studied economics. Every technical term gets explained. Every concept gets a real-world example from Argentine daily life.
Consistent weekly rhythm
One issue per week, every week. No bursts of content followed by silence. A steady, manageable pace that builds knowledge gradually without overwhelming you.
Argentina-specific context
Topics are selected because they're relevant to Argentines navigating a complex financial environment. The examples, regulations, and institutions discussed are local.
