Abyss of economics

The world today is 281 trillion in debt to itself. There is no science more mysterious than that of money.

What drives my enthusiasm for finance is its underlying devotion to mathematics, just like most of the pure sciences. This pride in being extremely logical and putting rationality before empirical bias is what makes it worthy of a Nobel (though not the original one). But its influence on daily life is enormous, a genuinely distinct feat in pure sciences. So let's delve into the unapparent philosophical side of the currency.

281 trillion is a significant amount. If everyone called on their cards, we would have a lost game of poker. In fact, we have such a bluff on the table that we can't risk calling it. It is horrifying that this accounting deficit makes no difference to the world. Has there ever been a scam this benign?
Or do we need a piece of the puzzle?

The latter seems rational. The reason for this debt is simple, sovereigns have printed more and more money over the years. Every time in stress, that's what countries do. But, our economic knowledge says that printing more money should effectively devalue the currency. However, nations (with some exceptions ) have successfully mitigated this devaluation. In fact, the dollar has remained strong all this year, even with an enormous debt. Our trust in them explains this apathy for the country's debt honour.

The question remains: How are the creditors not claiming back the credit?
How are we sustaining this cycle of massive debts? The answer is more socio-political than mathematical. Because our currencies are no longer backed by a tangible resource (gold reserve for a long time), we have lost the real sense of money. Even if one pursued the most lavish life, he would not be able to use up a multi-billionaire value. Thus most of our money is kept away from us, with the confidence that it is secure. And most don't actually call this bluff.

In fact, this mathematical probability that all would not cash their balances at once gives room for creating an inflated economy. But in the more philosophical sense, it reminds us of the excess wealth we are generating, a wealth we have no means of using. And that some country in distress is making use of this former trust to spend this extra wealth. it (looks like capitalism paid its regards to Marx)

Election afterthoughts

The unfolding of the Indian election might have come as a surprise to many, for one is the BJP who steamrolled the campaign seasons with slogans of "400 par". While it remains 240 seats popular in a house of 520 members, a few stories should not go unnoticed. First, the BJP's popularity and the win for a third term is no ordinary feat. Only a few leaders of the past have managed such an elusive feat. This, indeed, is the trust that the brand Modi has built over the years. In politics, we often get acclimatized to the situations, in certain aspects too critical of it. When the young generation looked at Indira Gandhi's cabinet, they vowed never to again let such a solid mandate to a single party that its chief could declare an emergency, and no structures would be able to prevent that. This, however, ended up in fragmented colours in the Lok Sabha, the era of coalitions and surprise prime ministers. Needless to say, the horse-trading of MPs and the mindless corruption ...

The Gems on Coursera

I found myself in a rare situation this April. Had things stuck to their schedule, I would have completed my graduation curriculum and would have been ticking off any college goer's dream check-list, which did include a few travel and adventure. But, the situation as of 2020 has a different story to tell. With no end to this quarantine insight, the check-list became an impossibility.  So I took the Coursera COVID offer for colleges and started my odyssey to various areas of studies, my mechanical engineering syllabi had prevented me from. So without much ado, here are the "Gems" on the courses platform, each one must give a shot at.  Model Thinking This course gives an unusual approach to what we have accepted as complex socio-political phenomena. With simple logical and mathematical principle, Prof. Scott E. Page recreates results which have puzzled global leaders. He argues that this approach to reality is a must for all in this 21st century, and I could not agree mo...

Consulting Constulting

Consultants are the most rampant, yet the most sushed topic in corporate. There are enough consulting firms today, to make one wonder if we need so many of them. And if the conundrum of needing to hire consultants was not big enough, here comes the issue of what they actually do. Over the last few years, many in the media have reported consulting firms to have held too much power for far too long to have become corrupted. Firms have relied on shady practices to keep their business afloat and, on many occasions, have walked out without much consequences. However, I find the above conclusion misrepresenting, if not incorrect.  The need for consultants doesn't arise from corporate's need to implement change or resolve issues. Corporations today are locked in an environment of constant change, be it in business models, products or even markets. The law forbids two companies from coming together and promising on a "happy ever-after". The consequence of this is action and r...
