Publisher's Synopsis
In this work, top economist Vicky Pryce argues that economics, good and bad, is the driver of politics and is ignored at our peril. There are the wide-ranging and huge economic questions: How should we use economics to cost in and avoid the environmental damage that could lead to catastrophe? Are austerity measures the best way to tackle recessions or do they make them worse? How can we foster economic progress for poorer countries?
