PUSH PAST THE NOISE

WITH KENT


Economics is not a tidy set of solutions

Kent Bhupathi, The Honest Economist

My name is Kent Oliver Bhupathi, aka The Honest Economist, and I am not here to spoon feed entry level lessons in economics—I am here to expose nonsense! Whether the issue arises in government briefings, corporate earnings calls, or discussions around the family budget, I am here to reveal how real trade-offs fundamentally shape our lives. After all, economics is not a tidy set of solutions! It is, rather, a refined lens that reveals the cost of every choice we either make or fail to make.

My mission here is ultimately to expose the choices and biases that drive our global economy, so that you can live and work with confidence. And to that end, the plan is to write and speak in plain English, explain all jargon, make clear all sources and anchor all data in (hopefully!) relatable stories with a nerdy twist. You may even have a laugh!
