One of my all time favorite TEDTalks [1] is by Rory Sutherland, a principal at the advertising firm Ogilvy. His brilliant analysis was on display again at Zeitgeist 2011 [2] in his talk, "Rediscovering a Lost Science [3]."
The lessons here are many, but for me key learning is the link between Austrian and Behavioral economics:
- All value is subjective, AND.
- All prices are contextual.
The implications of these two statements together are profound and in my opinion amount to an economic theory of everything.
