Welcome to political and economic clarity.
Burkeanomics Defined
Clarity comes from understanding how things work, thereby allowing us to predict how well – or poorly – they will turn out.
​
Burkean Economics (aka, Burkeanomics, Bcon, Economic Control Theory & eCon) clarifies expected results from political and economic policy decisions. It explains how we humans behave – as individuals, as family units and as agents of external control on others.
​
Burkeanomics values results, not intentions. Better results are predictable, worse results even more predictable. The smarter those playing with other people's money, the more likely are terrible or horrifying results.
​
Burkean Economics isn’t just about economics. It applies to any endeavor involving more than one person, especially when masses of people are involved. Hence, Economic Control Theory can more generally be thought of as Humanity Control Theory.​
Burkean Economics is a new political and economic control theory applied to political-economy choices at the large group level. It's frame is cCon v. dCon, i.e., how control is distributed on Control Axes: from Centralized Control or cCon on the left to Decentralized Control or dCon on the right.
