Economics – macro, micro and mysterious – is integral to
everyday life. But despite its importance for personal and
collective decision making, it is a discipline often viewed as
technical, arcane and inaccessible and thus overlooked in public
discourse. This book is a call to arms to bring the discipline of
economics more into the public domain. It calls on economists to
think about how to make their knowledge of the economics public.
And it calls on those who specialise in communicating expert
knowledge to help us learn to communicate about economics. The book
brings together scholars and practitioners working at the early
stages of an emerging field: the public communication of, and
public engagement with, economics. Through a series of short essays
from academics and practitioners, the book has two key goals: first
and foremost, it will make a case for why we need to make economics
public and for the importance of having a clear vision of what it
means to make economics public. Secondly, it suggests some ways
that this can be done featuring contributions from practitioners,
including economists, who are engaging audiences in newspapers,
museums and beyond. This book is essential reading for those in
economics with an interest in making economics public and those
already in the many fields dedicated to communicating expert
knowledge in public spaces who have an interest in where economics
can fit.
