Economics of Cyberpunk 2077 | How to Resist the Mega-Corp [Video Essay] (2021)

Mini-review and analysis of the game and theory behind it. I put a lot of love into this video because it covers two of my favourite things; Cyberpunk aesthetics and economics.

The Cyberpunk genre is filled with cautionary tales of dystopia. Cyberpunk 2077 is no different. I explore how the economic messages are more relevant today than ever. And then how we might also go about resisting the Mega-Corp by sandboxing capitalism - or embedding markets using the economic historian Karl Polanyi proposed.
