Ed Elson is joined by Rachel Karten and Allison Schrager to explore how influencers became the dominant force in the consumer economy. They discuss why young people are so interested in viral products, how social media is accelerating “winner-take-all" dynamics, and whether going viral is a sustainable growth strategy for businesses. 

Rachel Karten is the author of the Link in Bio newsletter. Allison Schrager is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and columnist for Bloomberg.
