The Attention Recession
from Signal & Noise · host Podcaster
While economists debate inflation and employment, a different kind of scarcity is reshaping society: human attention itself has become the bottleneck resource. We examine how the depletion of collective focus is creating new winners and losers, from the rise of 'attention arbitrage' industries to the quiet crisis in institutions that require sustained thinking.
