About

Beautiful Economics is written by one person, published at one address, and meant to still be here when you come back.

I am Arjun Sharma. I work on economics — currently on what happens to the quality of news when outlets compete for a fixed amount of reader attention — and I write here for people who are not economists.

Why a website, when there is already a Facebook page?

Because a Facebook post is gone in two days. It cannot be searched for, it cannot be linked to reliably, and whether anyone sees it at all is decided by a ranking system I have no view into. That is a bad home for work meant to be useful more than once.

Everything here has its own address. You can find it on Google in 2031, send the link to a student, or keep the PDF on your own laptop. The Facebook page continues, but it points here.

What you will find

Concepts — a growing dictionary. Each entry explains what an idea claims, what it quietly assumes, and where it stops working. Most explanations skip that last part.

Writing — longer pieces, where an argument needs room.

Library — PDFs you can download and keep, free, without handing over an email address first.

What this is not

It is not a course, it is not exam coaching, and it will not tell you what the market does tomorrow. I would rather explain one idea properly than twenty badly.

Corrections are welcome and I would rather be told than left wrong. Write to hello@beautifuleconomics.in.
