About me

Economist, entrepreneur, and author of The Future of Money. For over 25 years, he has tackled the defining challenges of modern economics and the creator economy. At the core of his work is a vital question: How do we measure the value of infinite digital products when the traditional laws of supply and demand—built for physical scarcity—stop working?

Almost all digital content costs about the same - so price no longer tells you what is good. When everything is a click away, and nothing is scarce, money stops doing its oldest job: signaling value. In The Future of Money, economist Alexander Dolgin diagnoses why money breaks down online - and proposes a deceptively simple fix. Prices work because scarcity works. But texts, music, podcasts, and ideas copy at near-zero cost, so uniform pricing collapses and audiences are left guessing. The result is adverse selection - the market failure George Akerlof, Michael Spence, and Joseph Stiglitz won the Nobel Prize for describing. Junk crowds out quality, taste erodes, and creators chase attention instead of value.

Alexander Dolgin’s Economics of Symbolic Exchange is in reality not one but three books, and although these semantic layers are interlinked, the reader will need to choose between the different vectors and modalities. One clearly evident dimension is research. Certain authors introduce quite new intellectual approaches into scientific debate. This requires a special frame of mind and a searching curiosity about social reality. Carl Gustav Jung identified a phenomenon which he called systematic blindness: when a science reaches a stage of maturity and equilibrium, it categorically refuses, from a sense of self-preservation, to note certain facts and phenomena which it finds inconvenient. In Alexander Dolgin’s book, whole complexes of such “non-canonical” material are to be found.
