Oh, hey, it's a gift card you found in the back of your wallet and you have no idea how much is left on it.

Alliward, back with the first half of an episode that was never meant to be this topic,

it rules all of our lives in every aspect, but it's not an allege.

So I just skirted the issue by finding arguably the two most exciting people in the field of economics

who could chat all about numbers and our brains and quantifying our choices

and then I just bent it into analogy.

So I love this episode. I love it so much. I'm making it two episodes, but before we meet them, let's thank you.

So patrons at patreon.com slash allergies make this show possible,

and they also submit great questions and you can join for a dollar a month, one dollar.

My love is very cheap, but as long as we are talking cheddar, you can support allergies for zero dollars.

If you like, just tell your friends about it or post about it.

You could subscribe right now, you could rate it.

Or if you have 30 seconds, writing a review helps so much and to prove it,

I read every single review that you all have ever left and I pick a still steaming one.

And I read it to you, such as this one left this week by Taitat 213,

who wrote, listen to every episode and then cry and relisten to them all again.

It will change your life. It will make you love everything. Taitat 213, I love you.

Okay, hot stuff. You ready? Are you ready? No, you're not, but you are.

Okay, so this one is economic sociology. So economic sociology, social cause and effect

of various economic phenomena.

Economics is just a way to quantify the choices we make. It's so exciting, I promise.

Okay, so these twoologists are personal economic heroes to many.
