PSYCHOLOGY & HISTORY
Stature, Snobbery and Satisfaction- Unveiling The Veblen Effect
The Veblen Effect, coined by economist Thorstein Veblen, delves into the phenomenon where consumers gravitate towards costlier goods, associating higher prices with enhanced quality and social status. Rooted in conspicuous consumption, this behavior was initially observed in the upper class but has permeated all socioeconomic levels. The price-quality heuristic, a mental shortcut, reinforces this tendency, contributing to overpricing and irrational purchases.
This article by Sharanya Tulsyan remarkably navigates these dynamics and traps that consumers fall prey to while making purchase decisions. This economic anomaly is further explored through examples of social experiments, like the FRAGO Italia perfume launch and the Chivas Regal 18 whisky experiment, which underscore the widespread influence of the Veblen Effect.

Cancel Culture: Accountability or Social Bullying?
Calling out people on their unacceptable behaviour to seek accountability appears to be ethically right. For far too long, marginalized communities have been struggling to make their voices heard, and with the advent of the internet, people are finally able to express themselves and speak up against injustice. However, what first appeared to be a social change that gave the people more sovereignty over their speech has evolved into a culture and become a source of contention.
The question arises, should we continue to ostracize individuals in the name of calling out unacceptable behavior? Does cancel culture genuinely promote diverse voices, or does it stifle differing viewpoints? Is it a commendable practice or a form of censorship? Moreover, should brands be concerned about the potential impact of the culture of cancellation on their reputation and image?
