In this episode, we discuss about why Sony chooses to offer two different models (and thus two different prices) for their new game console: the PS5! The main microeconomic topic of the day is: profit maximisation; we see a profit maximisation example through the OPEC, we also discuss about the concept of Bullshit Jobs (from an essay written by David Graeber), and still many other ramblings!
