How it works

Demystify exists to take apart, with data and evidence, economics, politics, and society concepts that are commonly misunderstood in public debate — from the relationship between money issuance and inflation to affirmative-action policy, international trade, and other topics that carry mistaken common sense.

Each article starts from a specific myth and confronts it with what the research actually shows, always citing the source. The goal isn't to defend a political side — it's to reduce ignorance. A lot of people grow up believing something wrong about a topic simply because they never encountered the evidence. The site is permanent — not tied to elections — but benefits from election periods as an entry point for new readers.

All content is technically reviewed before publishing and is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
