Okay, okay, just hear me out. I know this is a weird video. I know this is really niche, but trust me, we aren't just going to be talking about the Cabbage Merchant. I mean, how does one even find thirteen minutes worth on content on a guy who appeared for less than two minutes across the entire series?!
One of the things I often love doing is taking real-world concepts and applying them to fiction. Reading it through the lens of philosophy, politics, or in this case - economics. My dad is a lecturer of economics at university, so it's not like I got this from nowhere. Blame him.
Let's tell the epic tale of the Cabbage Merchant through the lens of macro and micro-economics theory: marginal cost, supply, demand, first mover advantage, opportunity cost, elasticity, and more.
Stay nerdy!
