An interesting course, but in a sense it tells us an obvious thing, that how people understand the economic world affects their economic decisions (spending, saving, investing, founding, ...), and they in turn affect the economic conditions that constrain or enable those decision. The course also gives a useful technique involving Google to help research particular narratives.

I think the subject of narrative economics faces a huge problem. Narratives carry values, and any study of narratives risks imposing the researcher's narrative and values rather than being an "impartial" study. Professor Schiller himself exhibited this - in many instances he seemed to impose his pwn values on the interpretation of historic narratives.

Anyway, thanks for an interesting course.

Professor Schiller is an economist, thus the name and the focus of the course. The lessons of the course lean very heavily to the importance, power and necessity of narratives. These lessons could just as easily be applied to many other fields, especially in the social sciences.

Interesting point of view about the forces of narratives in economics. Nevertheless the most important concept of this course is "consilience".

It perhaps becomes the key to producing something really important and new in science.

Interesting perspectives on an under-appreciated driver of economic and social direction, in society at large and personally. Also argues for the importance of multidisciplinary study vs. narrowly-focused specialization.

This short course is not as useful as Prof. other class Financial Markets but thank you for introducing the new concept for narrative economics to me
