The price we pay – a Guardian Series

A series investigating the higher costs Americans pay for almost everything and why

This series is supported through philanthropic funding to theguardian.org, a US-based foundation that partners with the Guardian on independent editorial projects.

All of the journalism is editorially independent, commissioned and produced by our Guardian journalists. You can read more about content funding on the Guardian here. A full list of philanthropically supported editorial projects can be found here.
