What changes when economics is treated as a study of tradeoffs rather than a search for perfect answers?
The key idea: Good economics rarely removes uncertainty. It clarifies incentives, constraints, evidence, and the cost of choosing one path over another.
Why the name
Humility, measured carefully.
"Margin of error" is the humility of not fully knowing, paired with the discipline of trying to measure carefully anyway. The platform documents the reading, assumptions, questions, and perspective behind each note.
