Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.Author: Anna KornbluhThis episode explores Realizing Capital: Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form by Anna Kornbluh as a systems-level analysis of how financial abstraction influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated events, the episode examines how speculative finance reshaped modern psychology itself — transforming structural economic instability into narratives about human irrationality, panic, and emotional scarcity.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/F3OZtjy51SA❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/realizing-and-in-158357821?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
