Summary:
One hundred years ago the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now, improving the economy has come to be seen as perhaps the most important task facing modern societies. Politics and policymaking are conducted in the language of
economics
and economic logic shapes how political issues are thought about and addressed. The majority of citizens, who cannot speak this language, are locked out of politics while political decisions are increasingly devolved to
experts
. How
economics
came to be seen this way - and the damaging consequences. The authors open up the discipline and demonstrates its inner workings to the wider public so that the task of reclaiming democracy can begin.
