The document discusses two types of economies: an Economy of Utility and an Economy of Aesthetics. The Economy of Utility is based on scarcity, instrumental rationality, and producer-centered values like wealth and power. The Economy of Aesthetics sees resources as infinite, prioritizes creative sensibility over means-ends thinking, and focuses on consumer freedom and distinction rather than hierarchy. The document suggests societies are transitioning from an Economy of Utility to one based more on aesthetic values as globalization creates new oversupplied markets.
