Why does opening Netflix with a thousand options often end with you watching nothing at all? In this episode, Susmita and Rajnandini unpack the paradox of choice, how too many options can leave us more exhausted, less satisfied, and stuck chasing the “perfect” pick instead of a good one. They bring in the jam experiment, opportunity cost, decision fatigue, and how social media multiplies the number of lives we feel we’re choosing between. Plus, a rapid-fire choice game that proves the point better than any theory could.

Language, community, and the inextricable need to find a place for ourselves in this world. 🌎👬

Linguistically and otherwise, ethnic communities all across the world have been interacting with each other for time immemorial. How do we define these communities, measure the extent of interaction and diversity among them, and relate these facts to the currenct socio-economic climate?

Read "An Ethnolinguistic Approach Towards Diversity” as Manya Marwah, Editor-in-Chief, attempts to understand the above.

What if every decision you made had to make you better off without making anyone else worse off?

In this episode, Samaira and Riddhima put Pareto efficiency to the test, not as an abstract market model, but as a real seven-day personal operating system. From Delhi’s daily commute chaos to household dinner disputes and workplace tea-break trade-offs, they trace how a framework built for static equilibria collapses under the weight of everyday choices.
We also unpack the Kaldor-Hicks compensation principle and how Indian policy, from the Land Acquisition Act to Direct Benefit Transfers, deals with trade-offs that Pareto efficiency alone can’t solve.

In this episode, Bhadra, Devika and Diya unpack the economics and psychology behind viral consumer trends, from engineered scarcity and FOMO to Veblen’s theory of conspicuous consumption. We get into why influencers act as hype amplifiers, how brands manufacture exclusivity through planned scarcity, and why price anchoring makes us feel like we’re “saving” even when we’re overspending. We also talk sunk cost fallacy, guilt consumption, and how to actually break the cycle.

Shakespeare believed that few tragedies rival two lovers being torn apart. But what happens when the ones parting ways are countries? 💔🌍

Trade relationships crumble under the weight of sanctions, wars, tariffs and shifting geopolitical interests. Unlike literature, however, economics attempts to make sense of this sorrow : to trace its causes, measure its costs, and understand who pays the price. 📉

In Shakespeare’s Sweet Sorrows: Geoeconomic Divorces, Deputy Editor Shruti Yadav unpacks these geoeconomic divorces: how much they cost and to whom?
