My favorite episode yet! It brought together my love of midcentury modern and my hatred of monopolies and the enshitification of everything. I’ve been a collector of mid century modern for 25-30 years mostly costume jewelry, chairs and accessories, lamps have always scared me but I’m now going to start keeping my eye out for them! Jewelry is another thing that most great artists from the 40’s through 70’s didn’t sign their pieces and many dealers making up stories and bogus websites claiming to be experts.
I was really skeptical at first. They did an episode about LAMPS?!?, I said to myself. But after listening I've concluded this is one of the best installments of Organized Money yet, because it made the real-life effects of consolidation and disregard for antitrust principles so palpable. Plus I learned a lot about the role lamps played in the development of the midcentury modern 'look.'
I always suspected by you background when you’re on Majority Report that you were a MCM enthusiast. I love vacationing in Palm Springs for the MCM aesthetic.

Yeah. I visited Kalamata, Greece in June. I stayed for a week. Not once did I find baklava. The restaurants were all very Generic European. 😗
