Tyler Cowen: Be suspicious of stories | Video on TED.com

Since I am using the concept of stories to argue for alternative ways of seeing into the future in order to understand and take decisions this is really brilliant to listen to. Tyler Cowen is putting a finger on the danger of increasingly see everything as stories - a phenomenon that is growing with a enormous momentum due to the increasing complexity together with our basic human need to understand and instill meaning in our increasingly messy reality.
