Recipe for Cognitive Currencies

Why do we act irrationally or with altruism? Behavioral economics, emerging in the 1970s, upended the belief that we are rational decision-makers, revealing how our choices are influenced by cognitive biases. Additionally, the Cognitive Revolution of the 1950s demonstrated that mental processes like memory, perception, and problem-solving can be directly modeled. In today’s world, where an 'attention economy' competes for our focus, and an 'intention economy' tries to foresee our desires, we face the possibility of pricing our cognitive traits such as attention, judgment, and identity.

Join us for an insightful journey into the implications for human capital:
