#04 Entering the Economy of Trust  

Between looking back and looking ahead, Lisa Hollogschwandtner and Stephan Huber discuss trust, credibility, and the economic dimension of realness in the new episode of Curated Coincidence—and classify the significance of these values for upcoming developments, including the upcoming issue #100. 

There are terms that resonate strongly with many of us—and yet mean something different to each and every one of us. One of these is"realness." Between associations such as authenticity, substance, and attitude, the construct poses a central question: What does "authenticity" mean in a consumer landscape where algorithms control product ranges, prices are systematically undercut, and platforms such as Shein or Temu create structures that stand in stark contrast to traditional value chains (and values)? 

This is precisely where the new episode of the style in progress podcast formatCurated Coincidencecomes in. 

Under the title "Entering the Economy of Trust," Lisa Hollogschwandtner and Stephan Huber discuss the current issue—andrealnessas an economic approach, not a moral imperative; as an economic model based on trust, commitment, and long-term relationships.Realnessis not a counter-concept based on principle. It is a construct that represents the future – because it is based on something that cannot be automated: credibility. Proximity. Attitude. 

Like every episode ofCurated Coincidence, "Entering the Economy of Trust" moves between analysis and intuition, between industry observation and personal interpretation. The episode is available in two versions—in German and in English.
