What is econVue?
Economics is more than an endless stream of data accompanied by uncertain predictions. It is a way of thinking, a way of making sense of what is happening in the world today. It is hard to understand how something so useful and illuminating has become so dry and unapproachable for so many. It doesn’t have to be that way.
We are a home for independent economic journalism.
econVue offers an alternative to traditional financial media that is clarifying in a turbulent world, and at the same time enjoyable to read. Our contributors have two things in common. They live and breathe their subjects of expertise, and they are very good at communicating what they know. They are not swayed by the news of the day, and take the long view of geoeconomic trends.
Our podcast, The Hale Report hosted by our editor-in-chief Lyric Hughes Hale, also takes this approach. Our guests explain how they first began to be interested in the field that became their life’s work, and what they believe people need to know today. We think you will enjoy getting to know them and our regular contributors. Source

The Mirror of the Machine
A week ago, I wrote The Council of Hope, Fear and Jealousy while much of the worldâs attention was fixed on the confrontation between the United States and Iran.

His essay arrives amid new reporting that Iran may be rebuilding suspected nuclear facilities and renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Against that backdrop, this lyrical VuePoint calls to mind the 12th-century Persian poem âThe Conference of the Birdsâ. Birds from around the world gather in search of a sovereign who can guide them.

↪re: The Chandrasekhar Limit
→ econVue re:Vue ↪ May-June 2026 Editor’s Note: One theme has emerged repeatedly in recent months. Whether writing about Hormuz, AI infrastructure, insurance, healthcare, or monetary systems, I kept returning to the same question: how much stress can a complex system absorb before it changes its character? A concept from astrophysics helped me see these seemingly unrelated stories in a new light. One of the brightest and most energetic supernova explosions ever recorded.
