Описание: Our democracy has gone profoundly wrong. Economists have failed us. Politicians have lied to us. Things must change. This fearless new book will help make it happen Owen JonesAn explosive call for change ... packed with original research ... a case study for the question we should all be asking since the crash: how have the elites - in Westminster, in the City, in economics - stayed in charge? Aditya Chakrabortty, Guardian
Utterly compelling and sobering Ha-Joon Chang A century ago, the idea of the economy didnt exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is, most of us cant 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.
