Opportunity Cost
The real price is the best alternative you give up.
In the wild
A city funds a flyover. The cost is also the hospital it can no longer build.

reset the lens.

everyday decisions.
Mental models I come back toHover or focus to explore the model in the wild
02Systems
Multi Order Thinking
A decision is only the first move; its consequences keep compounding.
In the wild
A subsidy lowers prices today, reshapes supply tomorrow and can alter dependency for years.
03Strategy
Asymmetric Warfare
A weaker player changes the rules instead of matching strength with strength.
In the wild
Low-cost drones can impose disproportionate costs on expensive air-defence systems.
04Markets
Blue Ocean
Create new demand instead of fighting rivals over demand that already exists.
In the wild
Cirque du Soleil combined theatre and circus to create a category with different buyers and economics.
05Reasoning
First Principles Thinking
Break a problem into irreducible truths, then rebuild from there.
In the wild

06Perception
Reflexive Control
Shape how another actor sees the situation so their preferred choice advances your goal.
In the wild
Selective signals can make a rival choose the path you anticipated—and prepared for in advance.
Economics is not a collection of charts. It is a way of seeing the trade-offs, incentives and hidden costs shaping ordinary life.
The most useful concepts change what you notice—and what you question next.07FIELD OF VIEW

Technology, climate, productivity and the forces remaking growth.
