The Econocracy On the Perils of Leaving Economics to the Experts

A century ago, the idea of "the economy" didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is, most of us can't speak it. This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as "proven" by the models of economic "science." Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite. The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists—and shows us what we can do about it.

Joe Earle, Cahal Moran, and Zach Ward-Perkins are founding members of the Post-Crash Economics Society at the University of Manchester.
