What is Briefing Book?
From Presidents to cabinet secretaries to CEOs, decision-makers rely on briefing books to cut through the noise and distill what truly matters about the economy and policy choices.
Briefing Book delivers the same kind of insights to you. We don’t preach or peddle in polemics. Instead, we provide clear, balanced analysis of the economy—its challenges, its opportunities—to help you form your own perspectives.
Who are we?
Briefing Book was founded by Gopi Shah Goda, Kevin Rinz, Wesley Yin, and Jeffery Zhang, all of whom are academics who have also served as economic advisers in the White House, Treasury Department, or the Office of Management and Budget.
