…it has become very difficult to think outside of market logic.
Ezra is making the point that we have been applying the idea of “let the market decide” to a lot of things that it doesn’t really fit well with. This assumes that the market has the correct tools to decide, it’s the correct venue to make a decision, and even that sometimes a winner take all decision should be made. In the conversation with Burnett, Klein is saying that market logic is an imperfect (perhaps very imperfect) framing for determining the best use(s) of our collective attention.
Email me if you know the upstream source of market logic takes over everything.
