I found it pretty insightful. I am sometimes really amazed the way basic economics can shape and influence your thinking - from analyzing the markets for search engines to shaping competitive strategy and analyzing competitor moves. See my earlier post on Economic Complements and Substitutes too."Every abundance creates a new scarcity"
For instance:
- An abundance of information can create a scarcity of context
- An abundance of choice can create a scarcity of advice
- An abundance of content can create a scarcity of time
- An abundance of people competing for your attention can create a scarcity of reputational ways to choose among them.
