Welcome to my Substack.
a little about me and my page.
Hi, I’m George. Writer and publisher of ‘Econ Without the Ego.’
Finance and economics shape our lives every day—from grocery bills to retirement plans—but let’s be honest: most explanations sound like they’re meant for Wall Street insiders, not the rest of us.
That’s where I come in.
With a BS in Finance, an MBA, and 32 years in corporate finance (including roles as Director of Finance), Domestic and international, I’ve worked on everything from global projects to hyper-local assignments. My superpower? Breaking down complex ideas into plain English—no jargon, no condescension, just clarity.
Now, I’m writing to help you understand:
How economic shifts actually affect your wallet.
Why financial headlines matter beyond the hype.
Practical ways to navigate an ever-changing system and policies.
Explain the big scary terms and matrix(s) used by the talking heads.
When I’m not geeking out over charts and economic news, you’ll find me reading the old Greek philosopher stuff or reminiscing about the time I rode my bike across America (once was enough!), or explaining anything to anyone who’ll listen.
Let’s demystify finance and economics together.
