Dear Dispatch members,
Thank you to all who participated in last month’s Monthly Mailbag with Michael Reneau. You can click here to find Michael’s insightful responses to your questions.
This month, Alex Demas has raised his hand to take on all of your questions.
One of our newest hires, Alex is a fact checker at The Dispatch, and began his career in the wealth and investment management sector before pursuing a Master of Arts in political economy at King’s College London. After graduating, he interned with Jonah Goldberg at the American Enterprise Institute and covered U.K. private equity as a financial journalist before returning to Washington to join The Dispatch. In his free time, Alex enjoys watching soccer (he’s a die-hard Aston Villa fan), mixing cocktails, ice climbing, going to concerts, serving at church, and cleaning up after his two ragdoll kittens. He is very close with his family—especially his cousins and twin sister—most of whom live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
As you’re thinking about questions you have for Alex, here are some suggested topics:
- Life in England and the pros, cons, and oddities of living abroad;
- How to engage with misinformation and conspiracies all day without going crazy;
- Anything about political economy—what it is, Hayek and the Austrian School, influential works, etc;
- What it was like growing up in a ski resort town (Aspen, Colorado);
- Why soccer is the best sport in the world, and why Aston Villa is the most exciting team in the Premier League this season;
- What it’s like to now work for The Dispatch after being a longtime listener, reader, and subscriber;
- All things cocktails—favorites, recipes, recommendations, best cocktail bars, etc.
Drop your questions for Alex in the comments below, and keep an eye out for an email with all of his answers in the coming weeks!
