Founded in November 2025, Beyond The Tradeoff has a simple mission: to make economics clearer, more accessible, and more engaging for everyday readers. The blog is written by Gabe Liebman, a specialty tax professional with an M.S. in Economics, who blends academic expertise with real-world experience to translate complex ideas into practical insights.

Economics isn’t treated here as an abstract theory reserved for classrooms or dense policy papers. Instead, the blog explores how economic forces shape business decisions, public policy, and everyday life. Content ranges from original empirical research and policy analysis to book reviews and reflections inspired by ongoing study.

Beyond The Tradeoff is a space for curious readers who want to understand the reasoning behind the data—and the tradeoffs that drive the choices shaping our economy.
