'This important book completes a project begun by Keynes long before The General Theory and overthrows the standard approach to uncertainty in economics. Its study of narratives, multiple equilibria, and use of machine learning to extract the contents of narratives from financial reporting is certain to be of wide interest and is a real contribution to economics.' George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics
