Fakenomics

What Fakenomics is

Fakenomics is a Spanish-language blog devoted to challenging economic misinformation and scrutinizing claims about the economy. Its articles examine news, public statements and data for errors, omissions or manipulation.

Content and approach

Topics include the fallacy of composition in discussions of tax competition, surveys of self-employed workers and financial-assistance requests from soccer clubs. The site also publishes open letters to company executives and public bodies, including Telefónica, Indra and Spain's Civil Guard.

The tone combines economic and political commentary with fact-checking. Israel Mármol manages the blog, signs some posts and, in several open letters, identifies himself as the president of a homeowners' association in Málaga.

Language and scope

The content is in Spanish and is aimed at readers interested in economic analysis and misinformation. The site does not describe professional services, products or a commercial offering; it functions as an opinion and information blog.

Readers assessing a claim can compare the article's cited data with the original statistical, regulatory or corporate source and distinguish the author's analysis from reported fact.
