Protecting/enhancing/embellishing our reputations, primarily among our circle of friends/family/acquaintances/colleagues/rivals. "Local fame," you could call it.

Behavioral economics -- and the applications thereof -- went from being a neat intellectual sideshow 10 or 15 years ago to being the absolute latest thing that every private firm and government agency wants to harness. Also: development economics is huge, and fascinating.

It's how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

Hey jedberg (and all of Reddit kingdom). I do remember that t-shirt, and in fact I went looking for it this weekend to wear for my visual proof. Alas: not there. So: no, I don't have the t-shirt and, as for my promise to read Reddit daily -- did I really say that? Yikes. In any case, no, I don't read Reddit very often; usually, it's when a particular item gets funneled my way. So, jedberg, tell me: what should I regularly read on Reddit, and why?
