About

Living Economics is a space created to demonstrate that economics is not limited to diagrams, equations, and exams, but is deeply intertwined with how people actually live, make decisions, and dream. It is grounded in the belief that economics is both an art and a science of living efficiently and meaningfully in a world of constraints, trade‑offs, and interdependence. Every thoughtful experience—from a kitchen budget or a classroom discussion to a policy announcement or a workplace negotiation—can shed light on important economic ideas.​

The blog focuses on connecting core concepts, such as incentives, institutions, power, distribution, and governance, with real-life situations and stories. Posts draw on themes like gender, work, markets, the state, trade, and technology, but always return to the everyday: how people manage time and money, navigate systems, confront norms, and respond to change. Rather than treat theory as a set of final answers, Living Economics uses it as a toolkit to ask sharper questions about the world.​

Living Economics is deliberately interdisciplinary. While it is rooted in economics, it draws on insights from sociology, politics, law, history, gender studies, environmental studies, management, and the arts, as real life often transcends disciplinary boundaries. Anything that relates to “living” in a broad sense—households, communities, identities, cities, villages, platforms, policies, or collective action—can become material for reflection here. This gives the blog a wide canvas while keeping its central thread: how economic thinking can help make sense of lived experience.​

The blog also has a clear ethical stance. All posts are original, written in a human voice, with careful acknowledgement of any sources that inform the analysis. Generative AI is not used to draft or structure the content; at most, simple tools may assist with proofreading, but the ideas, arguments, and narrative choices are entirely human. This commitment to intellectual honesty is central to the identity of Living Economics and to the trust it seeks to build with its readers.
