Narrative Economics
cowles.yale.edu
From 2018 · The field of economics lags considerably behind other social sciences, such as history, anthropology and sociology, in understanding the ways narratives affect human thoughts and actions. Noted economist Robert J. Shiller explains the large-scale ramifications and detailed nuances of “narrative economics,” and how stories about an economic event – perhaps tales of the Great Depression or accounts of asset bubbles – may contribute to financial disruption. getAbstract recommends his erudite report to economists and historians interested in a sweeping discussion of the arc of narrative and its impact on economies.

Family Background, Cultural Capital and College Major Choice in China
zhuanlan.zhihu.com
From 2018 · In a study published by The British Journal of Sociology in December 2107, Chinese scholars Hu Anning and Wu Xiaogang investigated the correlation between what French sociologist Pierre Bourdain identified as “cultural capital” and college major choice in China, where students must choose between a science-focused curriculum and an arts-focused curriculum at the start of high school. The older generation grew up in a country thirsty for economic growth and industrial prowess. In those days, many students favored science and technology above literature and the arts. According to Hu and Wu’s study, today it’s mostly those from a lower social strata – with less cultural capital – who choose a science-related major. Chen Xiaoxue, editor of the WeChat wemedia account The Intellectual, and research student Shi Jiaxin report on Wu and Hu’s findings. Chen and Shi’s study is thought-provoking and opens up a wealth of questions that researchers will undoubtedly explore in the future: As China develops, will the popularity of science majors decrease? Will the choice of majors affect China’s social stratification in the long run? How will changes in China’s education system affect the influence of cultural capital on social advancement? getAbstract recommends Chen and Shi’s insightful analysis to those interested in education, social mobility and economics.

Aeon+Psyche
I think, therefore I make mistakes and change my mind
Aeon+Psyche
~13 min read · From 2019 · Ever since English poet Alexander Pope wrote the famous line, “To err is human,” people have linked humanity to the ability to make mistakes. And yet, this realization doesn’t always extend to people’s personal preferences, which sciences such as economics and sociology tend to treat as given or even too sacred to criticize. Lawyer Daniel Ward deconstructs the origins of what he calls “general infallibility” and calls for more critical thinking. Ward’s analysis meanders a bit and is more than a light read, but if you work in a diverse environment, you will appreciate his premise that criticizing – even judging – the opinions of others means giving those opinions the respect they deserve.
