The Basic Economic Framework of Sustainability
The number of questions related to climate, pollution, mass extinction, threats from technology, are on a rise. How to understand our place within the environment, how to create a link between our economy and the environment, how to evaluate natural resources compared to market values?
This book is seeking answers to the questions what sustainability means, what happens when our economy, our practice, our life, our political-economic establishment are unsustainable, if the reasonable and theoretically optimal use of resources does sum up to sustainability on the global scale, how technology affects sustainability, if there is anything missing from the Demand-Supply graph.
My work intends to answer the less pronounced questions like how to make decisions if our way of life is sustainable or not; in case our answer is not, what we should take into consideration when we look for the way forward.

Unexpected Endings
There are said to be two types of writers: those who meticulously plot their stories before ever setting pen to paper, and those who dive headfirst into a blank page, trusting that meaning will emerge through the process. I firmly belong to the latter group.
When I began writing proper short stories – rather than scribbles on the backs of bus tickets – I never imagined they would one day form a collection. But as the stories accumulated, I realized there might be enough to satisfy the growing number of readers who had enjoyed them and were eager for more.
My imagination is a restless and untamed force, often pulling me in unexpected directions, making each story a new adventure in creativity. I delight in experimenting with words, stretching and reshaping them into fresh contexts. Unexpected Endings is driven by this love of storytelling, blending my interests in science and folklore – two endless sources of inspiration.
In this collection, you’ll find stories like Azrael, where a goldfinch holds far more meaning than meets the eye, and Light and Dark, where nothing is quite what it seems.
