@BlendedValue Absolutely. So much of what is widely considered immutable is merely a construct. We choose how we structure and operate our systems, including capital. Your approach requires reflection and deliberation in how we deploy capital, as it should — if we are doing it right.

.@BlendedValue , I know I’m late reading this, but have you read “Development as Freedom” by Amartya Sen? I guess we can now say it was published last century.

@BlendedValue “Agree or not” = I have read some of the critiques and I understand there are some who disagree with him. But his focus on agency in particular really speaks to me.

@BlendedValue Deeply. Agree or not with his central thesis, his work among other things illustrates the power of the frame we choose. I’m still not through it but it just immediately impacted me.

My new book is officially out today! I wrote #TheProgressIllusion because I’m convinced that economics as currently taught & practiced will ensure a planetary path to ruin. This is my small part in helping to turn the tide. Use code ILLUSION @ islandpress.org/books/progress… for 20% off

Hey @SouthwestAir - your gate crew and flight crew on Flight 1454 from OAK to BUR this morning were outstanding. In particular, the guy who handled boarding was A+. Thanks.

⁦@BlendedValue⁩ have you read this book? It’s a bit slow going but an interesting analysis of attempts to insert morality into economics.

Who decides what art is worth seeing? At this ⁦@artbma⁩ exhibition, it’s the people who spend the most time with it — the security guards. nytimes.com/2022/03/23/art…
