Geopolitics & Political Economy Writer
Daniel Mercer is a geopolitics and political economy writer who examines how governments, markets, and emerging technologies shape international affairs. He holds a degree in Politics and Government and a master’s degree in Information Technology, combining an understanding of political institutions with a practical background in the systems that underpin modern economic and national power.
With two decades of experience in information technology, technical leadership, and strategic planning, Daniel approaches global developments by examining interests, incentives, capabilities, and constraints. His writing explores how national ambitions interact with trade, industrial capacity, energy, and technological change, and how decisions in one part of the world create consequences elsewhere.
At HighVRAM Hardware Watch, Daniel covers international competition, technology policy, supply chains, and the political economy of technological development. He writes to make complex events understandable, distinguish evidence from assumption, and help readers assess both immediate consequences and longer-term implications.
