Creating a series on mental models, grouped not by discipline (how they are usually presented) but by use-case. I’ll share around 188 unique mental models in the following categories:
Analytical frameworks and decision tools: Mental models about how to think, build theses, and update them.
Business, industry structure, and competitive dynamics: Models for understanding companies, moats, industries, and corporate behavior.
Market, macro, and system-level behavior: Models about markets as complex systems, cycles, macro forces, and collective dynamics.
Portfolio construction, risk, and payoff patterns: Models for allocation, downside protection, payoff shapes, and long-term compounding.
Policy, regulation, and institutional incentives: Mental models that help you think about governments, rules, and incentive structures around markets.
Behavioral finance, biases, and investor psychology: All the ways investor brains trick us and how crowds behave psychologically.
Information, narratives, data quality, and communication: Models about how information is created, distorted, measured, and communicated.
