This episode intends to communicate the following outlooks: 1. Humans haven’t always lived the same way. Concepts like “The Future” and “Money” are relatively new, people may find it difficult to deal with them because, to the Homo-Sapien brain, they’re abstract notions. 2. The Nominal and Real Price of a good can differ throughout time, as a result of changes in the supply and demand dynamics of its price components. 3. The market is a quick and effective price discovery mechanism.
