We are happy to invite you to the launch of the book The Econocracy: The perils of leaving economics to the experts, which will take place Friday 11th of November, 18:00 at the University of Manchester. The book, published by the student group Rethinking Economics, looks at the way in which citizens are increasingly more isolated from politics by the use of economics and tries to open up the discipline for the wider public.
The authors of the book, Joe Earle, Cahal Moran and Zach Ward-Perkins, are founding members of the Post-Crash Economics Society.
