Why so many Hegel's for sale?

Economics is a mind bendingly difficult subject to peer into. It’s defeated all but the very best of analytical minds such as Smith, Malthus, Marshall and Keynes.

Given the psychology of the audiophile mind, audio economics might be beyond even them!

On the other hand it could be said that we audiophiles do tend to be rather a fickle ’flavour of the month’ bunch, chopping and changing as we go in search of something ’better’.

Particularly sensitive to hyperbole and criticism, of which there is no current shortage.

Little wonder it seems to take very little to get some of us riled up.

Perhaps someone should start a more meaningful thread on products which have provided long term service and satisfaction?

@jjss49,

’so much data trying to explain stuff, yet real events and changes occur largely due to psychology driving individual perceptions, and thus behaviors’


Yes, the psychology of consumer (or investor) behaviour is the unpredictable element liable to thwart the most careful of predictions.

If we could guess which products will be the most desirable this time next year, it would be fairly easy to get rich, wouldn’t it?


Then there's always the mysterious 'X factor'.

I wouldn't like to even think what Covid 19 has done to investment plans worldwide.
