Economic Frictions is an independent writing project focused on understanding economic ideas beyond textbooks — how incentives, institutions, and policies shape real-world outcomes.

Rather than treating economics as a collection of abstract models, this space uses it as a lens to interpret reality: markets that do not behave as expected, policies that generate unintended consequences, and decisions shaped by constraints that are often invisible.

This project reflects my ongoing attempt to think clearly about complex systems.

How I approach economics here

Most economic writing either stays highly academic or becomes overly opinionated.
Economic Frictions deliberately sits in between.

Each post begins with a real observation — something from daily life, current events, or market behaviour — and then uses economic reasoning to understand why it happens.

The emphasis is on:

• First-principles thinking

• Clear intuition over jargon

• Connecting theory with lived reality

• Questioning assumptions rather than defending positions

A living, weekly project

This is an active and evolving space.

Every Sunday, I publish:

• One new blog post

• One new thought

• One fresh attempt to look at reality through an economic lens

Over time, these posts form a growing archive — not a fixed doctrine, but an evolving way of thinking.
