See [the Prestige Economy](/diagnosis/prestige-economy/).\n\n## Where to start\n\nHumanity’s Checklist proposes charity designer goods, where the coolest thing you can wear shows how much you gave. Testing that proposal, and others like Charitology’s shareable [Wrapped](/tools/charitology-wrapped/) card, is a concrete first experiment.\n"
