Thoughts & Scribbles
In my early years out of college, I spent some of my free time writing. At the time, nearly 8 years ago now, it was a space to vent and to share how I understand everyday things in the lens of economics. Below are the writings I have worked on, some reflect an attempt to adapt idealistic and rational concepts in an imperfect world. I have learned, of course, that's not possible. It's never about the first-best solution, but about what works in the reality you're in. Anyhow, we all learn and grow. Enjoy.
