Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Why do stock markets crash and housing bubbles form? What explains the viral spread of ideas like Bitcoin or the persistent fear of job-stealing robots? The answers lie not just in data, but in the powerful stories we tell ourselves. This is the central insight of Nobel laureate Robert J. Shiller’s groundbreaking book, Narrative Economics. This audiobook summary decodes Shiller's essential argument: that contagious narratives are the real drivers behind market fluctuations, recessions, and major economic shifts. You'll learn how stories fueled by fear, greed, or even misplaced confidence can spread like epidemics, shaping the behavior of millions and altering the course of history. Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes. This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours. It explores the perennial narratives—from panics and manias to debates over automation and inequality—that continue to influence our financial lives. If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most. This version delivers all the practical takeaways you need to put into action right away, equipping you to see the hidden stories driving the economy and better anticipate what’s coming next.
