How to submit an article

(and get it published)

Dollars & Sense is a progressive economics magazine that explains in a popular way both the workings of the economy and struggles to change it. Articles may be on any economic issue, including the environment, community organizing, urban conflict, inflation, unemployment, union reform, welfare, changes in government regulation... a broad range of topics, as long as the article has an economic theme.

Our readers include students, community activists, organizers, labor leaders, environmentalists, economists and many others. In most cases, articles are geared to a high school reading level.
