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 Silent Tears of Nepal
Editorâs Note:The August 26, 2026 flood in Nepal is a reminder both of South Asiaâs growing strategic importance and of the critical work of emergency preparedness that remains to be done across the region. Satellites and artificial intelligence are giving governments unprecedented tools to identify glacial instability, monitor rivers and lakes, and provide earlier warning of disasters. The technology exists, but has not been fully implemented nor integrated across government agencies.
The Golden Years
Gen Z has protested their lack of economic opportunity relative to their parents and grandparents, but the future of those older generations is not necessarily secure either. Long-term bonds, a bedrock of many retirement accounts, have come under pressure. As the printing presses keep whirring, investors increasingly seem to be searching for scarcity. Two very different stores of value have moved sharply in the opposite direction: gold and cryptocurrencies.
Do We Need a 21st Century SEATO?
The first SEATO (1954–1977) was built to collectively defend its member nations. A proposed new Indo-Pacific Alliance for Collective Security and Trade (IPACT), could help defend the democratic nations of the Indo-Pacific and the trade, transportation and communications networks that connect them.
The Case for a Consolidated Indo-Pacific Alliance–Do We Need a 21st Century SEATO?
In 1954, supply chains existed to support alliances. Today, alliances increasingly exist to protect supply chains. This diagram is illustrative rather than exhaustive and depicts major security relationships and institutions as of August 2026. Institutions of all kinds are under threat. AI is challenging our assumptions about the value of higher education, and decentralized finance and cryptocurrencies are questioning the authority of central banks.
