#CosmereSpoilers They often say that "money is power," but in the Cosmere, that can often be taken literally. In this episode of The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies, the hosts take a look at the various economies and currencies that Brandon Sanderson has developed for the Cosmere. Whether you're talking about burnable metals, stormlight stored in gemstones, or even exchanging Breaths, the economic structure of the Cosmere worlds are often tied to the magic systems on those worlds. Join Jordan, Bill, and Amy in this episode as we take a deeper look at the economic rules Brandon has put into place. ___ This episode's show notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PxqCXVrOpO7tsWxwlLlLZU7-2G5p-CZhlJD15S5v6P8/edit?usp=sharing ___ You can support The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/cosmerestudies SICS patrons make the show possible and gain access to additional content and early access to bonus episodes. ___ You can email us your questions about the Cosmere at [email protected].
