The Hate Economy: The Lies People Sell

A clear-eyed look at how outrage is engineered, scaled, and monetised, and why the digital economy of hate is no longer confined online, but shaping real-world harm.

The Hate Economy: The Lies People Sell

By Dr. Nicole Matejic

An examination of how social polarisation, grievance, and outrage are produced and monetised within contemporary digital and political environments. The book explores the economic, technological, and organisational dynamics that sustain hate and extremism, and the increasingly visible links between online harms and offline consequences.
