Sania Khan is a leading labor economist, AI strategist, and bestselling author of Think Like an Economist. With nearly two decades of experience advising government institutions, Fortune 500 companies, and technology leaders, her work centers on one clear mission: to democratize economic thinking and empower individuals to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

As the former Chief Economist at Eightfold AI and a longtime public servant at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Sania has helped shape workforce policy at the highest levels—advising the White House, the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, and business leaders navigating technological disruption. Her expertise spans labor market dynamics, responsible AI integration, and strategic workforce transformation.

Through her consultancy, Inflection Point Strategy, Sania helps organizations thoughtfully implement AI agents while redesigning work in ways that elevate both productivity and human potential. Her work focuses on finding the sweet spot between automation and creativity—guiding companies to identify which tasks are best handled by technology, and where people can be redeployed for greater strategic impact.

A Mission to Bring Economic Thinking to Everyone

Despite her years working with C-suite executives and policymakers, Sania believes the most powerful insights from economics shouldn't be confined to boardrooms or government reports. The frameworks used to shape national labor policy or organizational strategy can—and should—be used in everyday life.

Think Like an Economist was written with that belief in mind.

This book offers practical, accessible tools rooted in core economic principles—tools that individuals can apply to personal finance, relationships, and career decisions. It demystifies complex ideas like opportunity cost, sunk cost fallacy, and game theory, transforming them into everyday strategies for smarter decision-making.

Why This Matters Now

We are at an inflection point. AI is reshaping the nature of work. The pace of change is accelerating. Economic uncertainty, career ambiguity, and decision fatigue are affecting people at all levels.

Now more than ever, individuals need a framework to make sense of change and chart a path forward.

Think Like an Economist is more than a book—it's a guide to thinking clearly, acting strategically, and living with greater confidence. It brings the rigor of economics and the foresight of future-of-work strategy into the hands of individuals, empowering them to adapt and lead in every area of life.

Redefining What Smart Decisions Look Like

Sania Khan's work—across public institutions, private enterprise, and individual empowerment—aims to shift how we understand work, success, and progress. Her belief is simple yet powerful: when people are equipped with the right frameworks, they make better decisions—for themselves, their families, and their futures.

This book is a step toward that vision.
