Picture this: Athens, 399 BC.
Socrates moved through the open marketplace - the Agora - speaking to the merchants, artisans, economists and philosophers about their ideas.
Coolnomics is the modern room where CEOs, artists, founders and corporate leaders commercialise cool ideas for the market.
We are not learning about business hidden behind the walls of academia, separate to where the business is being done. We are doing it live, in the marketplace itself.
We are in the Agora.
Where the Agora begins
Live, online, 29 July. The first of three public lectures teaching you the history of cool, the history of the economy and how to apply Coolnomics to your ideas.
Introducing
You can never see both sides of a coin at once. That's the problem. The Coolnometer lets you read both together - cool on one side, money on the other. Test your idea for free.

Cool on one side.

The long intellectual tradition
Coolnomics is an original economic theory, written by Robyn Wilson in 2023. It continues an ancient intellectual lineage built by giants from the worlds of culture, economics and philosophy.
When the Lab wing of the Agora opens, you'll be able to read Robyn's Working Papers exploring these iconic thinkers' work through a contemporary Coolnomics lens.
