From Nobel Prizeâ€"winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller, a new way to think about how popular stories help drive economic events
In a world in which internet troll farms attempt to influence foreign elections, can we afford to ignore the power of viral stories to affect economies? In this groundbreaking book, Nobel Prizeâ€"winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller offers a new way to think about the economy and economic change. Using a rich array of historical examples and data, Shiller argues that studying popular stories that affect individual and collective economic behaviorâ€"what he calls "narrative economics"â€"has the potential to vastly improve our ability to predict, prepare for, and lessen the damage of financial crises, recessions, depressions, and other major economic events.
Spread through the public in the form of popular stories, ideas can go viral and move marketsâ€"whether it's the belief that tech stocks can only go up, that housing prices never fall, or that some firms are too big to fail. Whether true or false, stories like theseâ€"transmitted by word of mouth, by the news media, and increasingly by social mediaâ€"drive the economy by driving our decisions about how and where to invest, how much to spend and save, and more. But despite the obvious importance of such stories, most economists have paid little attention to them. Narrative Economics sets out to change that by laying the foundation for a way of understanding how stories help propel economic events that have had led to war, mass unemployment, and increased inequality.
The stories people tellâ€"about economic confidence or panic, housing booms, the American dream, or Bitcoinâ€"affect economic outcomes. Narrative Economics explains how we can begin to take these stories seriously. The result may be Robert Shiller's most important book to date.

Narrative Economics 下載 mobi epub pdf 電子書##傳統的經濟學建立在一個假設前提的基礎上: 所有的人都是理性的,然而現實並非如此。越來越多的經濟學傢在關注其他因素對經濟的影響。敘事對經濟一定是有影響的,不過要做敘事經濟學的研究有很多還未解決的問題,我能想到的作者在書裏最後一部分都提到瞭,比如很難證明和量化敘事和經濟變化之間的因果或相關性,還沒有找到非常科學的方法論,和同一經濟問題相關的敘事紛繁復雜,有相似的有矛盾的,數據收集也是問題。作者在第三部分的九個章節裏列舉的幾個典型敘事對經濟的影響也是基於上述原因,欠缺瞭些說服力。不過提齣這個概念是很有意義的。 此書原名《How Stories Go Viral & Drive Major Economic Events》,比高大上的中譯本書名《敘事經濟學》精準多瞭。從全書內容看,作者僅僅提齣瞭一個認知輪廓,而根本沒有完整的理論和模型。按照某位書友的評論,這書是拋瞭好大一塊磚,但卻幾乎沒有玉。這樣還居然敢譯為...
評分##偶像的新書,留一星給期待(๑˙ー˙๑) Financial Communication作品,Shiller探瞭條好路,讀這類新穎作品不在於給你答案,這類奴纔教育下的懶惰慣性思維。而在於擴展個人思維廣度與深度,邊讀邊辨彆其真假。 Shiller老師的作品,雖然有些著作水平高地不一,但一直沒讓我失望。 擱置一季,記下,再讀一遍定有收獲?
