Looking for Trouble: The Classic Memoir of a Trailblazing War Correspondent

Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events

@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.
