The worlds of business and economics can be confusing to those who don’t speak the language. So TIME.com is launching a new series that tries to break down that barrier. You ask the questions, and we will answer the ones that are the most timely and likely to be of broad interest. Ask your questions in the comments section of this article, or write to us at asktheexpert@time.com. TIME’s writers and reporters, including Rana Foroohar and Bryan Walsh, will answer your questions online and in print, beginning on March 1.
So please, ask away!
