About

My name is Werner Mouton. I am a CGMA and a writer.

I write essays that examine how power operates across economic, political, and cultural systems. My work draws on thinkers like Polanyi, Marx, and Hayek to analyze current events and reveal the structures that shape our world.

I trained as a chartered accountant, which taught me how organizations actually function—where resources flow, who decides, and what gets measured. This background informs my writing. I understand how economic systems work from the inside, which lets me explain them clearly and test theory against practice.

My essays aim to help readers see more clearly. I write about the ideas and systems that determine how we live, work, and understand our choices. The goal is not to tell you what to think, but to give you the tools to think more rigorously about power and possibility.

All essays remain free. I also create educational content for supporters on Patreon—deep dives into economic theory, explanations of financial instruments, and extended analysis that builds understanding of how systems work.

You can find me on X @mouton_werner and YouTube @wernermouton where I share ideas and create weekly educational videos.
