Economic Laws are not Physical Laws

Reflection from the 2025 Midyear Global Outlook from BlackRock Investment Institute: “The world can’t change quickly.”

As a risk professional, oddly, there’s comfort in acknowledging that.

Economic laws are not physical laws.

Gravity is simple—and it doesn’t bend to opinion or preference. It does not. Full stop.

Economics is like water—full of nuances— dissolving into mist, hardening into ice, from whispering calm, to raging storm.

To find calm in the chaos of nuance, let’s look for what doesn’t change—as fast.

Yes—*as fast*.

Because what we seek may not be comfort in permanence, but the ability to live with the discomfort of impermanence.
