Spread through the public in the form of popular stories, ideas can go viral and move markets - whether it's the belief that tech stocks can only go up or that housing prices never fall.

But despite the obvious importance of such stories, most economists have paid little attention to them. Narrative Economics sets out to change that.

AI hasn’t made strategy shallow — it has made its shallowness harder to hide. As organisations adopt AI at speed, many encounter the same unease: strategy feels thinner, more interchangeable, less grounded than it used to. Not because AI is doing the thinking, but because it exposes how often thinking had already been reduced to optimisation, efficiency, and polite answers. The Shadow in the Machine is a book about how to avoid that. It introduces Shadow Prompting - a strategic approach for uncovering the hidden drivers, unspoken tensions, and emotionally risky truths that traditional ...

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes can make us poor and unhealthy. We often make bad decisions about education, personal finance, health care, family, and the environment.

Psychologists and neuroscientists struggle with how best to interpret human motivation and decision making. The assumption is that below a mental "surface" of conscious awareness lies a deep and complex set of inner beliefs, values, and desires that govern our thoughts, ideas, and actions, and that to know this depth is to know ourselves. In this profoundly original book, behavioral scientist Nick Chater contends just the opposite: Rather than being the plaything of unconscious currents, the brain generates behaviors in the moment based entirely on our past experiences.
