When Information Gets Cheap, Politics Gets Expensive!
As the marginal cost of finding, verifying, and coordinating collapses, three things kick in: coordination at scale, accountability with receipts, and disclosures that travel faster than denials. Nepal’s GenZ flashpoints are what EMH looks like in public life: prices—of secrecy, patronage, and narrative control—get repriced in real time. Old bargains strain, coalitions churn, and the same rent now costs more to defend. Cheaper information won’t purify politics; it makes lying pricier and exit easier. That is the mechanism, and it’s already rewriting incentives, for everyone, especially incumbents.
