Lachlan Walden is a third-year Bachelor of Commerce student at The University of Melbourne majoring in economics and accounting. In 2014 he is an Editor in the Publications team at UoM. Lachlan fundamentally believes in equality by opportunity and asserts that economics is a study that facilitates the achievement of this by – albeit perhaps a simplistic line of reasoning – analysing how best to allocate resources. Besides having an insatiable passion for economics, he ascertains a lot of utility from allocating ‘free’ time in an ostensibly irrational manner towards his core personal interests of public policy, business and the pursuit of optimal holistic health.
