19 interaction • Posted by u/fireman 4 days ago We live in the attention economy. We live in the attention economy. Everything today revolves around attention. Some people are still trapped in the old money economy mindset, not realizing that in today’s world, your attention pipeline is your money pipeline. It used to be the information economy, but information has now exploded — it’s everywhere. What truly matters now is who controls attention. How many eyes are on you? How many ears listen when you speak? That’s the new measure of power. Attention is the new wealth. Those who own the most of it are the most powerful people in our age. In a democracy, votes are power, and every vote comes from a mind. Influence that mind, and you influence the world. That’s why rulers, brands, and creators all compete to buy and direct attention. Even in democracy, to get your share of the dividends, you must be able to move numbers — and that only happens when you command attention. We can break it down further, but for now, let’s be clear: 👉 Attention is power. Attention is currency. Attention is the new economy.
