“Create your own economy” é o novo livro de Tyler Cowen, economista e autor do blog de economia mais popular dos EUA, o Marginal Revolution. Em seu artigo para a revista Fast Company, defende que, cada vez mais, o aumento de bem-estar depende de satisfação mental quase independente de recursos físicos. Ele elabora:
More and more, "production" -- that word my fellow economists have worked over for generations -- has become interior to the human mind rather than set on a factory floor. A tweet may not look like much, but its value lies in the mental dimension. You use Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and other Web services to construct a complex meld of stories, images, and feelings in your mind. No single bit seems weighty on its own, but the resulting blend is rich in joy, emotion, and suspense. This is a new form of drama, and it plays out inside us -- with technological assistance -- rather than on a public stage.
