3.9: "Narrative Economics" By Robert Shiller - How Stories go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events | Unboxing with Wendi & Norma

Hello there, Lover Fam!  Welcome back to another Unboxing episode on Transactional Love. Today, Wendi and I are excited to be back together to dive into a book called "Narrative Economics" by Robert Shiller, which is an exploration of how thoughtfully positioned stories can go viral and shape global economies. Shiller argues that it's not just data and models that drive financial markets, it is also the contagious power of popular narratives. From the rise of Bitcoin to housing bubbles and stock market crashes, he shows how viral stories can influence real world economies and outcomes, often more than rational analysis. This book challenges traditional economics by spotlighting the human side - our beliefs and the stories we tell. We are so happy you're here and listening in with us!
