Reading Looking for Trouble, by the WW2 war correspondent, Virginia Cowles. This passage on the Winter War in Finland is strikingly similar to the Russian approach to the invasion of #Ukraine. https://t.co/xnYKqNxsWw

@ProfTimBale Very interesting. @DavidVeevers1 The work of Robert Shiller (Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Shape Major Economic Events) might be worth a look in relation to this, not least because it positions narrative as a major driving force of history.
