The Full Story

I'm Jake Shaw, and I started The Reality Gap because I was tired of seeing how often misconceptions shape the way we view the world, especially when it comes to economics. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by headlines that focus on problems without showing the progress that’s happening behind the scenes.

​

This platform is my way of bridging that gap. I believe that understanding real progress isn’t about ignoring the world’s challenges—it’s about recognizing that change is possible when we’re equipped with the right facts.

​

Here, you’ll find articles that break down complex economic trends, stories that highlight real progress, and insights from people who are making a difference. My goal is to make economics easier to understand and to encourage conversations that lead to meaningful change.

​

If you’re ready to challenge assumptions, explore new ideas, and see the world a little differently, welcome to The Reality Gap. Let’s explore the facts and find the progress worth celebrating.
