Economy
The topics this product tracks, the most attention first. Attention is measured against each topic’s own history — 50 is its usual level — so a high figure means unusually busy for that topic, not the most-discussed topic in the world.
Ordered by each topic’s current Attention figure: 0–100 against that topic’s own recent history, with 50 its usual level. Topics with no figure yet are listed last, A–Z. How attention is measured.
