Scientific analysis of inflation in India must incorporate macroeconomic models that account for energy price pass-through effects and the elasticity of demand for essential goods. These models can inform more resilient fiscal and monetary policies.
India's rising inflation to 3.8% in April is a systemic outcome of global energy market dynamics, domestic policy constraints, and historical patterns of economic vulnerability.
Indigenous knowledge systems and cross-cultural models from Brazil and Costa Rica offer alternative pathways to energy security and inflation resilience. By integrating scientific analysis, future scenario planning, and marginalized voices, India can transition toward a more sustainable and equitable economic model. The trickster perspective challenges the dominant narrative, revealing the absurdity of treating energy as a purely market-driven commodity. A holistic approach that combines localized energy production, strengthened social safety nets, and international cooperation is essential for long-term stability.
