## What Jamie wrote

Broad and accessible overview of some theories around tokenization of some very unfamiliar things, like social tokens. This is an interesting taste. If it is interesting I'd recommend the book [Radical Markets](https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691177502/radical-markets) for a much more thorough exercise of bringing market dynamics into new places. Some of this is interesting, and some feels like it would be a mistake. Not sure which is which though.
