Book Description
The Secret Economist reveals the hidden choreography of microeconomics in daily life - from broken transport apps and ecological grief to indigenous governance and literary collapse. Across ten sovereign essays, Temesgen Muleta-Erena applies experimental microeconomics and game-theoretic modelling to moments often overlooked by mainstream economics. The result is a republic of thought: a curriculum of coordination, ritual, and epistemic dignity.
