Ep6: The Metal Economy

Dec 3, 2025
53 mins

Episode Description

In this episode, we take a macro look at the Metal Economy. By "following the money," we trace the industry's impact beyond just musicians and fans to the unsung economic contributors, from venue security and merch printers to the critical infrastructure of gas stations and American Legion halls. We break down the challenges of quantifying this ecosystem without reliable data and propose a theoretical approach to estimate the true global footprint of metal.

Economics is Metal!
