題目： Stories Economists Tell: Lost Japan and the financial crisis
発表者：Ted Bonnah（関西学院大学）
要旨：
Economics is not a discipline one automatically thinks of when
one studies narratives. Yet when it comes to interpreting events such
as the recent financial crisis (2007-2014), what Milton Friedman calls
‘analytical narratives’ have become an invaluable tool for economists
and economic writers. During my PhD studies, I explored how the Lost
Japan narrative promulgated by ‘magazine economists’ such as Paul
Krugman and others in US media outlets not only demonstrated the
limited episteme of the economics discipline, it also evidenced
Neoliberal Discourse. Using the power of narrative to build community
and identity, Lost Japan was marshaled into a cultural discourse of
American moral superiority that lead to capitalist resubjectification
at the moment when US market libertarianism was put into question, a
movement that Kiersey notes as characteristic of financial crisis
discourse.
In this presentation, I showcase four elements of how this narrative
has changed US media discourse. First, I explain how this type of
economic analytical narrative promotes Neoliberal Discourse, how it
escapes easy discursive analysis, and how it uses what Thierry
Guilbert calls ‘scientificity’ to push its interpretation of reality
across media to influence public opinion. Next, I examine how this has
changed the role of media, as embodied in the rise of ‘magazine
economists’ and ‘economic journalists’, whose hybrid credentials and
status testify to the ‘flattening out’ of expert opinion under
neoliberalism. Third, I link these concepts to the ‘post-truth’ and
‘post-fact’ state of public discourse in the USA in the latest
election, with its rise of ‘fake news’ and public distrust of media
and expert opinions. I end with suggestions for analyzing this
difficult discourse, and try to predict where this trend might lead in
terms of media’s role in democratic society.
