A Field-Theoretic Construction of Economic Dynamics from an Action Principle
Description
This paper constructs a field-theoretic framework where economic dynamics emerge from an action principle on a differentiable manifold. It derives price dynamics, endogenous crises, and phase structures without assuming economic primitives, providing a geometrically grounded description of economic systems.
