Markets don’t run on logic alone. They run on instinct.
The Nutty Collective: A Squirrel’s Guide to Capitalism is a sharp satirical allegory that examines accumulation, cooperation, and the myths that sustain economic systems. In a society driven by stockpiles and scarcity, success is measured not by need, but by how much can be claimed and defended.
