Behavioral Economics of Scarcity
How perceived scarcity — money, time, attention — narrows decision-making bandwidth and traps individuals in suboptimal loops.
Mullainathan and Shafir's scarcity model identifies a 'tunnel' effect: scarcity concentrates attention on the proximate at the cost of the systemic. Through the LHS Lens, scarcity is a conditioning that produces predictable tradeoffs; solutions that ignore the conditioning fail because they assume the bandwidth still exists for a 'rational choice' that the system has already foreclosed.
