This week, The Indicator explored how technology and policy reshape markets and behavior—from the algorithms that keep us scrolling to the currency designs that attract criminals. The episodes reveal a common thread: good intentions often produce unexpected consequences, whether it's a public good undermined by infinite scroll, a currency reform that backfires, or workplace mandates driven more by executive preference than economic logic.
