Levers denote the type of influence each insitution exerts. In today’s world,
organizations, governments and mass media operate in a myriad of powerful
ways.
Nodes are institutions and groups that
shape economic thinking across sectors.
These nodes are often interconnected,
with some more influential than others.
Mechanisms are outgrowths of nodes --
they are the means by which these
insitutions connect with audiences and
exert their influence.
