David Roche

I was born in Ireland which I left as soon as possible with ambitions to write. I studied at Trinity, INSEAD and did a CFA and C Dip Af on the side.

Before setting up Quantum Economics I was a strategist at JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Independent Strategy.

My inspirations are tectonic plateshifts, like the Fall of the Wall; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; the death of liberal economics and globalisation. So my mind fires up when history is no guide but creative thinking is.

Where there is discontinuity there is value in strategic thinking. Where general preoccupation is the Fed's next move there is not.

Jorge Luis Borges once said that most novels shouldn't have been written because they would have been better short stories. I write micro-books. Here are some of them, which you can find on the Books page:

  • New Monetarism (2008)
  • Sovereign Discredit (2010)
  • Democrisis (2012)
  • Death of Democracy (2018)
  • Quantum Economics (2022)
  • Living in the Grayzone (2024)
