Narrative drives most of economics. Everything seems to be part of a story, and how that story is told often leads to critical error.

TV producers want ratings and are willing to do nearly anything to get them. They gin up artificial conflicts and create an urgency for even the most minor of economic data points.

We love a tale of heroes and villains and conflicts requiring a neat resolution.

Any Wall Street advertising that does not go into the boring details of methodology is most likely to be pushing past performance.

I remember, when we first got married, the only money we had was what was in Chip's pocket. He always had a wad of cash, but we were broke. If I needed to go grocery shopping, it's whatever was in his pocket. That's how we paid the bills.

With so many amazing artists on one bill, we expect this concert to be incredibly powerful in its ability to raise both money and awareness for the long-term rebuilding effort we must all support.

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown. He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California.

I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me.
