I write about political economy and the forces that shape how people live.

Twenty years in corporate strategy and finance gave me the view. The writing is what I do with what I saw.

This site is the home of my complete body of work. Here, you will find my essays, notes, and a record of what I notice.

You will also find my video series and podcast, Political Economy with Werner Mouton.

If you value what you find here and want to keep it going, support the work.

Who I Am

I have an honors degree in finance and a CGMA. I have spent twenty years reading political economy, history, markets, and power. I am also a writer.

I do not write as a banker or an academic. I write as a reader trying to see how the machine works, who built it, who gains from it, and who pays for it.

Welcome.
