Writing on the Wall: Social Media - The First 2,000 Years
Tom Standage
Incredible stuff. Shiller's narrative economics, along with Tom Standage's Writing on the Wall feel like essential reading in thinking about the greater virality in inflation narratives and how they have may have spread much more quickly than historical experience expected. https://t.co/U7hjgJEJwb

Devil-Land: England Under Siege, 1588-1688
Clare Jackson
A disastrous state visit: James I and VI receiving his brother-in-law Christian of Denmark in 1606. From Clare Jackson's really quite fun Devil-Land. https://t.co/lHtB9SxD2Q
