Their readership comprises professors, students, journalists, activists, and anyone who appreciates well-researched, clearly-written, and relevant news and analysis. Beyond publications, Dollars & Sense collaborates with educational institutions and non-profit organizations, offering research and editorial support for projects related to popular economics education, organizing, and activism.

Their long-standing worker-run, collectively managed organizational structure aligns with their mission of challenging orthodox economics and promoting progressive economic ideas.
