Where's Money
Moving?

A weekly newsletter on capital flows in infrastructure, construction, energy, and manufacturing written from the field.

Why this is different

Most macro is written from a screen.
This is written from a job site.

I've spent the last 16 years managing $800M+ of public infrastructure across the New York metro from bridges, to tunnels, to transit, and heavy civil. The work is mostly about understanding constraints, tracking conditions as they change, and figuring out how problems roll downhill.

None of this is theorized from a Bloomberg Terminal or a peer reviewed study. I'm reporting from inside the supply chains, schedules, and costs that decide where the money actually lands.

What I cover

Built for the Builders

Each issue traces money through one or more of these. Sometimes it's policy. Sometimes it's a contract award. Sometimes it's a supply chain crack you can hear opening.

01

Infrastructure

Bridges, tunnels, transit, public works. The slowest, largest, most political flow of capital in the economy — and the one I work in every day.

02

Construction

Heavy civil, vertical, the supply chains and schedules behind them. Costs and timelines that decide which projects actually get built.

03

Energy

Oil, gas, renewables, grids. Decade-long bets that shape what infrastructure costs and where it goes for a generation.

04

Manufacturing

Steel, semis, reshoring. Where things are physically made — and whether the policy fantasy survives contact with the economics.
