The Genesis of The Literary Economist
This is how it all started.
The Literary Economist was never just an idea. It was the natural outcome of two things I could never separate: my love for stories and my curiosity about the systems that shape them.
It began with words. The kind that stay with you long after you close the page. The kind that make you question people, society, and the world around you. Somewhere between Camus’ existential questions and Adam Smith’s invisible hand, I realized that literature and economics were not as distant as they seemed.
Both are, at their core, attempts to understand human behaviour.
Economics is not merely numbers and graphs; it is a story of choices, incentives, power, ambition, and consequence. Literature is not merely fiction; it is a lens through which we understand those same forces. The Literary Economist exists in that space between them.
Here, essays meet poetry, theories meet narratives, and analysis meets curiosity. Every piece is an attempt to look closer, ask better questions, and explore the ideas that quietly shape our world.
This is only the beginning.
(And yes, I know I am dramatic. Very much so. But perhaps a little drama is necessary when you are trying to make sense of something as wonderfully chaotic as the world.)
