Economics of Culture “Culture is one of the most underrated ideas in economics. For decades, economists avoided invoking culture—the shared values, norms, beliefs, preferences, and behaviors of a group—as an explanation for economic outcomes.” —Roland Fryer (@Dr_RolandFryer), WSJ, October 31, 2025 Poverty is a word that nominalizes a complex process, turning it into a fixed "thing." This framing directs our caring instincts toward identifying and repairing that "thing," as if it were a tangible object like a car.
