About this ebook

This book is not about money. It is about how belief shapes money, how chaos transforms markets, and how irrationality turns out to be the only rational response. The Mad Economist’s task is not to teach equilibrium, but to bury it. The data you rely on is already wrong, and the models you trust are outdated. There are only intuitions, stories, and the uncomfortable truth that markets do not reward the smartest people, but those who can adapt the fastest when logic stops working.

I did not write this book to please economists or financial experts. I wrote it to entertain real people living in unstable times—people who have given up on the idea of “rational markets” but have never given up on their ability to survive.
