Style and fun. One always hears "time is money", well you need time to be
free, but you don't need money to be free.
Best,
Leland

My brother-in-law, retired physicist for Lockheed-Martin when one day
several years ago in conversation we stumbled over the cost:quality:time
triangle... same as the good-fast-cheap... without a beat of hesitation
he said, and 'style'.
I have thought about that a whole lot since then. Triangles can provide
a too easy over-simplification of complex issues.
Examples of style: the value of the story, the fun of the adventure, the
intangible value-added, the smile at the end.
I am convinced that an economic perspective that does not include style
is like... well, why bother?
Give me style or give me death? Because, quite frankly, without style we
are already walking dead.
