Cheap money built the world we live in — from Silicon Valley unicorns to overheated housing markets. After a decade of near-zero rates, that era is over.

In this episode of **Nunes Economics**, Dr. Pedro Nunes breaks down how inflation forced central banks to change course, and what higher rates mean for housing, governments, private equity, investors, and citizens.

Are we truly prepared for a world where money finally has a real price again?

I’ve been experimenting with a small Stroop-style reaction task and noticed something interesting.

When the timer is very tight early on, players tend to report the experience as “confusing” rather than “challenging.” After easing only the first exposure, the same difficulty later feels fairer.

I’m curious if there’s any cognitive research around:

• First-exposure timing thresholds

• When cognitive conflict shifts from learnable to overwhelming
