Episode 4: Profit maximisation, PS5, and B******t Jobs
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we discuss about why Sony chooses to offer two different models (and thus two different prices) for their new game console: the PS5! The main microeconomic topic of the day is: profit maximisation; we see a profit maximisation example through the OPEC, we also discuss about the concept of B******t Jobs (from an essay written by David Graeber), and still many other ramblings! If you want to react and be a part our podcast (as Alex did today), send us a voice or a text message at one of the following addresses: @gregoire_mld on Instagram, or with the function message here https://anchor.fm/everydayeconomics, or e-mail.
Stay safe and see you next week!
