Mike Konczal is the Senior Director of Policy and Research at the Economic Security Project, where he oversees policy development, research, and strategic analysis to build economic power for all Americans. Previously, he served as a Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Chief Economist at the National Economic Council.

He was an early hire at the Roosevelt Institute, where he led major projects on financial reform, inequality, economic ideas, and macroeconomics. He authored Freedom from the Market: America’s Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand, described by the Financial Times as “a powerful polemic,” and co-authored Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy with Joseph Stiglitz.
