      6. There's a political economy aspect to all this: the hero is a billionaire (just as The Beast was a prince), much richer than heroine.

      7. The persistent economic divide in Beauty/Beast scenarios points to how the stories are about social as well as emotional reconciliation.

      8. Think of recent romantic comedies like "You Got Mail" or (more obscurely) "Brown Sugar"

      9. Typically, in these movies predatory, successful businessman is entangled with nurturing, artistic less affluent woman.

      10. The reconciliation of the gender is also a reconciliation of classes: the predatory rich man is socialized into proper behavior.

      11. If the brooding hero learns to behave, you have a romance (Jane Eyre). If he doesn't, a Gothic tragedy (Wuthering Heights).

      12. By this analysis, the romantic comedy is a profoundly Keynesian genre, where capitalism is able to be humanized, regulated, & socialized

      13. The affinity between Keynes & romantic comedy shouldn't surprise us. It was Keynes who taught us capitalism has an emotional life.

      14. How to maintain needed "animal spirits" of capitalism without letting them become destructive. Both an economic problem & romantic one

      15. Now, let's talk about what Keynes & the Brontes might have thought about that blue/black or white/gold dress....

          @HeerJeet Scratch my prior reply. Romance narrative relative to Keynes-that's interesting. Sure @hoodedu would be delighted to pub an essay.
