Welcome to Economy Lab, a new forum to examine the forces at play in today's global economy.
The Globe and Mail has assembled more than a dozen of the country's top economists and experts, along with our staff of economic writers and bloggers, to take readers beyond the headlines.
Every day, we are hit with a barrage of economic sound bites, charts and statistics. But what does it all mean for Canadians with mortgages, kids in college, car loans and looming retirements?
We'll strive to help you understand, with analysis, news and opinion. And, we'll try to have some fun as well. After all, it really isn't such a dismal science.
Sincerely, Rob Gilroy Editor, Economy Lab rgilroy@globeandmail.com
