18/25 - How the Economists Rediscovered the Human Mind

Описание: “Value does not live in things — it lives in the mind.”
With that quiet sentence, economics changed its idea of reality.
How the Economists Rediscovered the Human Mind tells the story of the Marginal Revolution, when thinkers like Menger, Jevons, and Walras replaced labour and power with preference, utility, and equilibrium. The factory gave way to the psyche. Justice to optimisation. Ethics to equations.
This episode traces how economics became a science of choice rather than production, of perception rather than conflict. The market was no longer a battlefield or a moral drama, but a system of rational individuals balancing desires under scarcity. Elegant. Precise. And strangely empty.
What emerged was neoclassical economics — a secular theology of reason, where equilibrium replaces justice and calculation stands in for conscience.
Everything works… as long as people remain abstract.
