Episode 17 - Economies of Scale
Manage episode 324898644 series 3300315
Money and business. Buyers and sellers. Competition and the invisible hand of the market. Our economy is an evolving ecosystem of producers and consumers, but who is producing and who is being consumed?
The simple trades that formed the foundation of merchant behavior in our past have long been replaced by more complex and evolved systems of shares and commodities, credit and finance, incorporation and mergers. Yet we, as consumers, remain much as we were. Left to browse the options in our markets, we choose what we are offered, and give up what we have to trade.
In this episode, we explore the vastly altered landscape of modern economies, and probe the methods behind their function. Delving into techniques used to manipulate the buying public, we also search out ideas for effective actions to counteract the processes.
At a time when populations are farmed and milked like livestock, we seek to regain the authority to make impactful choices yet again. After decades of being told, we seek to be heard.
