Description

Comic Description:

The comic features four panels with two characters in a discussion.

Panel 1: One character, a man with dark hair, asks, “Can you put a price on a sunset?” The background shows a beautiful sunset with vibrant colors.
Panel 2: A woman with dark, wavy hair responds, “Yes. How much would you have to be paid to never see a sunset again?”
Panel 3: The woman continues, “I won’t— bearing in mind that a 100 million dollar endowment could provide meals for hungry kids for an entire city forever.”
Panel 4: The man, looking serious, says, “Assuming you dislike hunger, we just divide 100 million by 365 sunsets a year multiplied by your expected remaining years of life, and…”
Panel 5: The woman interrupts, stating, “That sunset is worth just under $6,850 maximum.”
Panel 6: The man concludes, “Someday, the people will rise up and annihilate the microeconomists!”
Panel 7: The woman replies, “Pfft. Good luck solving a 7-billion agent coordination problem.”

The comic combines humor and commentary on economic principles. The characters are depicted in a casual style, reflecting a light discussion filled with sarcasm and wit.
