Writer & Independent Thinker

I’m a freshman in high school with a serious interest in economics, markets, and public policy.

My interest in economics began in seventh grade. Since then I have spent a lot of time reading, learning, and trying to understand how the system actually works beneath the headlines. I follow markets closely every day and pay attention to how prices and yields react to new information. I also invest and trade, which puts ideas into real context rather than keeping them in the abstract.

I write this blog to think more carefully about the economic forces shaping our world and to share what I learn in a way that is honest about what we do not know. A lot of economics gets flattened into reassuring certainty by people who have an incentive to seem confident. I try to do the opposite: show the uncertainty and the trade-offs alongside the analysis.

Numbers like CPI and the fed funds rate tell part of the story. The harder part is understanding why they moved and who it affects.

Each Monday I write about the most important economic and market news of the prior week. The focus is on what the numbers actually mean, where the common narrative is incomplete, and how short-term events connect to bigger structural patterns. This is an independent project: no editors, no sponsors, no agenda beyond understanding things more clearly.

I am not a financial advisor and nothing here is investment advice. I am a student sharing how I think. I make mistakes and welcome corrections. If something I wrote is wrong, please tell me.

What I Write About

Monetary policy, fiscal decisions, labor markets, global trade, and market behavior. The common thread is trying to explain what is actually happening beneath the headline number, and why it matters to people who are not economists.

Why I Started This

Writing forces clarity that reading alone does not. When I try to explain something on paper, I find the gaps in my understanding faster than if I just read about it. This blog is how I keep improving over time.
