Welcome to Lanesia Knots—a personal space where I share economic insights from Melanesia and book reviews from around the world. This blog ties together two of my passions.
- Making sense of complex economic issues shaping Papua New Guinea and the broader Melanesian region, and
- Reflecting on books that challenge and inspire—from global bestsellers to economic classics.
Whether you’re a student, policymaker, researcher, or lifelong learner, I hope this space offers something insightful, thought-provoking, and grounded in real-world relevance.
What You’ll Find Here
- Book Reviews
I review a diverse mix of books across economics, development, history, and leadership—sharing key takeaways and personal reflections on how they connect to life and policy. - Economic Commentary
I explore and attempt to provide succinct posts on development challenges, public finance, trade, inflation, and resource governance with a focus on four Melanesian economies: PNG, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji—based on various publicly available data and information.
