Hi, I’m Ayaan Jindal.

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 the things we still don’t understand.

I’m interested in how monetary policy, fiscal choices, and financial markets actually affect daily life, not just the abstract numbers you see in headlines. Economics is often presented as either too technical to engage with or too simplified to be useful. I try to find the honest middle.

My goal with each essay is to be clear without being careless. Economics involves genuine uncertainty, contested empirical claims, and irreducibly political trade-offs. I try to be upfront about all three — rather than packaging complexity as false clarity.

What I Write About

• Student of economics & public policy
• Interested in monetary systems, fiscal policy, markets
• Write weekly on what I am learning & thinking about

Why I Started This

I wanted a place to slow down — to work through ideas carefully instead of reacting to each news cycle. Writing forces clarity. If I can’t explain something simply, I probably don’t understand it yet. The blog is my accountability for doing the work.
