Dough Magazine
Selected spreads from Dough Magazine Issue No. 2, The Recession Issue
Dough Magazine is for the culturally-informed and economically-uninformed; the TikTok-fluent and paperwork-inept. We believe in stories about the economy. Stories that explain why your pizza is no longer a dollar or why Hailey Bieber is trending on Pinterest. Unlike the economic journalism that currently saturates the Internet, we don’t expect our readers to know what GDP means or even how to do their taxes (like us).
It’s reported that financial insecurity and economic circumstances are, if not the most, among the most severe stressors for Gen-Z and Millennials today. And while, yes, financial literacy (i.e., knowing how to do your taxes) is wildly important and on the rise, economic literacy is an entirely different beast—stagnating and overlooked. Economic literacy is the understanding of economic concepts, not necessarily as they relate to personal finance, but how they manifest into national and global interests. At a time when the U.S. economy veers towards a possible recession, it’s critical that more young people engage with core economic concepts and principles that ultimately determine the material conditions of overpriced pizza and unpaid internships.
Dough does not claim to cure this widely neglected tidbit of our educational system, but through stories that are at least more interesting than Nasdaq Leads Indexes Higher (Wall Street Journal) or Bond Market Parties On as Jobs Data Revive Fed Rate-Cut Bets (Bloomberg), we hope reading about the economy might become a bit more tolerable.
