Let's Appreciate How Social Media Shapes Economic PerceptionOne thing I’ve been trying to square lately is online discourse and real world action.I spend a lot of time on this topic (like a lot of time) and it’s because I think it’s important.

Let's Appreciate The Economics of Self-Commodification’ve been really fascinated by nostalgia recently, specifically how it defines culture and therefore the economy (such as the Super Mario Bros movie, Marvel Cinematic Universe, constant reboots, the monetization of familiarity). We love the past. Susan Sontag’s view on this was that that we engage in a cult of nostalgia allowing us to focus on commemorating the past vs critically engaging with the present.
