Fireside Stacks:
A newsletter from Roosevelt Forward
Fireside Stacks is a newsletter about bold economic ideas and the people who put them into motion. We write on the latest with an eye toward the long game.
We’re bringing an updated version of FDR’s fireside chats to your inbox here on Substack.

We’ll bring you regular essays—from us or a guest—about the economic ideas that matter most right now. “The economy” is big and broad, and you can expect us to interpret our brief broadly. We might show you how people are building power to shape AI’s role in their workplaces. Other times, we’ll give you an inside look at how policy leaders are taking universal childcare from a dream to reality.
Who are we?
Roosevelt Forward is the advocacy affiliate of the Roosevelt Institute, a progressive think tank. At Roosevelt Forward, we argue that the future of the American economy and our democracy depend on a new way of thinking about markets and a new way of thinking about government. With a renewed commitment to shaping markets, reviving democratic institutions, and reimagining the role of government, we can restructure our economy to make both the private and public sectors better serve more Americans. Ultimately, we believe that new politics and policymaking—that can rebalance power in our society—are possible.
We’re so glad you’re here.
